Measurement > Units
Australian Curriculum Version 9 Says:
Measure and compare objects based on length, capacity and mass using appropriate uniform informal units and smaller units for accuracy when necessary.
What this means
Developing early measurement principles.
- Units need to be the same size (uniform).
e.g. when measuring length use all popsticks or all paperclips, not a mix. - Standard units like metres (m), litres (L) or kilograms (kg) are not used until Year 3.
Tips
- There will come a point where students might need a smaller unit like a half pop stick.
- Cups and jugs used for capacity comparisons should not have a scale on them.
