Outcomes
MA1-GM-01 represents and describes the positions of objects in familiar locationsMA1-GM-02 measures, records, compares and estimates lengths and distances using uniform informal units, as well as metres and centimetresMA1-GM-03 creates and recognises halves, quarters and eighths as part measures of a whole lengthContent dot points
Each dot point has its own page with resources matched to it.
Position: Explore simple maps of familiar locations
- Make simple models from memory, photographs, drawings or descriptions
- Interpret simple maps by identifying objects in different locations
- Create a path from one location to another
Length: Compare and order lengths, using appropriate uniform informal units
- Make and use a tape measure calibrated in uniform informal units
- Compare and order two or more shapes according to their lengths using an appropriate uniform informal unit
- Compare the lengths of two or more objects that cannot be moved or aligned (Reasons about relations)
- Record length comparisons using drawings, numerals and words, and by referring to the uniform informal unit used
Length: Recognise and use formal units to measure the lengths of objects
- Recognise the need for formal units to measure lengths and distances
- Use the metre as a unit to measure lengths and distances to the nearest metre or half-metre
- Record lengths and distances using the abbreviation for metres (m)
- Estimate lengths and distances to the nearest metre and check by measuring
- Recognise the need for a formal unit smaller than the metre
- Recognise that there are 100 centimetres in one metre
- Measure lengths to the nearest centimetre, using a device with 1-cm markings
- Record lengths and distances using the abbreviation for centimetres (cm)
- Estimate lengths and distances to the nearest centimetre and check by measuring
Length: Repeatedly halve lengths to form eighths
- Use materials to model an eighth of a whole length, highlighting the length
- Recognise when a length is divided into eight equal parts
