Measurement > Units
Australian Curriculum Version 9 Says:
Interpret unmarked and partial units when measuring and comparing attributes of length, mass, capacity, duration and temperature, using scaled and digital instruments and appropriate units.
What this means
Measure things in metric units with both scaled (analog) and digital instruments. Students need to actively use instruments to measure things.
- Analog scales are basically number lines. Students will need to be taught how to read between the intervals on the scale. Reading to the nearest or judging that it is halfway between.
- The elaborations refer to reading times on analog clocks without minute markings.
Tip
- A variety of scales and scaled instruments should be used.
