Stage 2 – Year B – Unit 29
This 2-week, Year B unit develops the big idea that what needs to be measured determines the unit of measurement.
Students are provided opportunities to:
- compare and describe features of three-dimensional objects by making and exploring models, sketches and diagrams
- construct and draw models from given top, front and side views, using squared and isometric paper
- use formal units (litres and millilitres) to measure capacity and use scaled instruments to measure and compare capacities.
