Stage 2, mathematics, Year B – Unit 34
This 2-week, Year B unit develops the big idea that what needs to be measured determines the unit of measurement.
In this 2-week unit students are provided opportunities to:
- use a scaled instrument to relate 1000 grams to one kilogram
- interpret commonly used fractions of a kilogram, including one half, one quarter and three quarters and relate these to the number of grams
- select and use appropriate units to estimate, measure and compare lengths and distances and convert between units of measure.
Representing numbers using place value B – MAO-WM-01, MA2-RN-02
Decimals: Extend the application of the place value system from whole numbers to tenths and hundredths
Geometric measure B – MAO-WM-01, MA2-GM-02
Use scaled instruments to measure and compare lengths
Non-spatial measure A – MAO-WM-01, MA2-NSM-01
Mass: Compare objects using the kilogram
Non-spatial measure B – MAO-WM-01, MA2-NSM-01
Mass: Use scaled instruments to measure and compare masses
