Outcomes
MA2-NSM-01 estimates, measures and compares the masses of objects using kilograms and gramsMA2-NSM-02 represents and interprets analog and digital time in hours, minutes and secondsContent dot points
Each dot point has its own page with resources matched to it.
Mass: Compare objects using the kilogram
- Recognise the need for a formal unit to measure mass
- Identify familiar objects that have a mass of about one kilogram
- Record masses using the abbreviation for kilograms (kg)
- Find objects that have an estimated mass of more than, less than and about the same as one kilogram and check by comparing to a 1 kg mass
Time: Represent and read analog time
- Use minutes to describe the duration of events
- Identify 30 minutes as being a half-hour and 60 minutes as an hour
- Connect the quarter-hour to 15 minutes
- Recognise that the position of the numerals on an analog timepiece often represents 2 different values
- Recognise that 5-minute intervals (corresponding to the hour markers) are used as benchmarks to read time on an analog clock
- Read time as past the hour to half-past and then towards the hour
- Read analog clocks to the minute
