In this unit 'What needs to be measured determines the unit of measure', students are provided opportunities to:
- measure, record, compare and estimate a variety of attributes including length, area, volume and mass using informal units
- explore and connect mathematical measurement concepts
- apply mathematical measurement techniques to solve investigations and communicate their thinking.
