    Included Skills: Measurement

    Measurement • I can estimate how long or heavy an object is, or what amount it holds, using everyday things as a guide, then measure or weigh it using appropriate instruments and units. • I can estimate the area of a shape by counting squares or other methods. • Uses knowledge of everyday objects to provide reasonable estimates of length, height, mass and capacity. • Makes accurate use of a range of instruments including rulers, metre sticks, digital scales and measuring jugs when measuring lengths, heights, mass and capacities using the most appropriate instrument for the task. • Records measurements of length, height, mass and capacity to the nearest standard unit, for example, millimetres (mm), centimetres (cm), grams (g), kilograms (kg), millilitres (ml), litres (l). • Compares measures with estimates. • Uses knowledge of relationships between units of measure to make simple conversions, for example, 1 m 58 cm = 158 cm. • Reads a variety of scales on measuring devices including those with simple fractions, for example, 1/2 litre. • Uses square grids to estimate then measure the areas of a variety of simple 2D shapes to the nearest half square. • Creates shapes with a given area to the nearest half square using square tiles or grids. • Recognises that different shapes can have the same area (conservation of area).
