Very little knowledge of perimetre or area. Due to the size of the unit – some assessment items (eg. area, temperature) will be covered in later units and not in this one. Edit: extra area lessons added – we were on a roll! – see bottom of planner The way we measure to be uniform for measurements to be meaningful. We can convert between standard units of measure. SESSION NUMBER KEY IDEA LEARNING INTENTION TOOL SESSION A short, sharp task relating to fluency in mental computation or the focus of the lesson. WHOLE CLASS FOCUS Sets the scene/context for what students do in the independent session. INVESTIGATION SESSION Extended opportunity for students to work in pairs, small groups or individually. A time for teacher to probe children’s thinking or work a small group for part of the time. REFLECTION Focused teacher questions and summary to draw out the mathematics and assist chn to make link/s. TEACHER ASSESSMENT We are looking for... Session 1 LEARNING INTENTION We can measure, order and compare objects using familiar metric units. TOOL SESSION 20 Sum Challenge WHOLE CLASS FOCUS Introduction of and guidance through the learning intentions on the cover sheet. Introduce the Length, Mass, Capacity and discuss what we know these. Task: Grocery Sort Sort items according to how they are measured: length, mass, capacity INVESTIGATION Task: Words and Pictures charts Working in groups and rotating around each chart, students use poster paper to create 3 charts - Length chart, Mass chart, Capacity chart Each chart should contain pictures or drawings of objects measured by that attribute and vocabulary related to that attribute. (catalogues a good source for pictures) Extending Prompts: Students use Jenny Eather’s Maths Dictionary to add information to pages. REFLECTION Video – You Tube Hunting for Properties: Crash Course Kids #9.1 ASSESSMENT Check how students sort the products. Are they looking in the correct places for the measurement? Are students familiar with measurement units?

Enabling Prompts: Using peer coaches REFLECTION Get children to take photos of their process and create a Pic Collage at the end. Study Ladder Length pod. ASSESSMENT Oral assessment – get selected students to complete the following: I was able to… I learnt that… I can … (refer to learning intentions) Next time I would... Session 5 LEARNING INTENTION We can measure, order and compare objects using familiar metric units. Focus: Length TOOL SESSION 20 Sum Challenge CLASS FOCUS TV Sale! (need some tv catalogues/online stores examples) Show students how televisions are measured by the diagonal length of the screen. Challenge them to find out the size of their tvs and monitor screens at home INVESTIGATION Task: Worksheet ‘TV Sale Extending Prompts: Check the website of the store to see if the largest are always the most expensive. How do they measure the curved tvs? Enabling Prompts: Small group lead through REFLECTION Correcting worksheet together Study Ladder Length pod Extension Session 6 TOOL SESSION INVESTIGATION REFLECTION ASSESSMENT
LEARNING INTENTION We can measure, and compare objects using familiar metric units. Focus: Length and Perimetre The way we measure needs to be uniform for measurements to be meaningful. 20 Sum Challenge WHOLE CLASS FOCUS Introduce term ‘perimetre’ Video – You Tube Adam Up Maths - Perimeter Song – very simple song with good visual examples. Task: Shape Perimeters Model using a geoboard and rubber bands to make shapes then transfer these onto grid paper and calculate the perimeter. Sharing a geoboard between 3-4 people, students use the same process. Examples of shapes that be made: Extending Prompts: Make your shapes more complex by increasing the number of corners Try doing it on blank paper. Enabling Prompts: Simplify your shapes and keep the straight Worksheet: ‘Measuring Perimetre’ Display some of the grid examples on the maths wall. Length Fact Book – Students fill in a book to consolidate facts about measuring length. Study Ladder Length pod Have the students shown a good understanding in the Length Fact Book? Keep worksheet for assessment data Session 7 LEARNING INTENTION We can measure, order and compare objects using familiar metric units Mass The way we measure needs to be uniform for measurements to be meaningful. TOOL SESSION 20 Sum Challenge WHOLE CLASS FOCUS Quick Quiz: Which would weigh more - one kilogram of feathers or one kilogram of bricks? Videos – You Tube Adam Up Maths - Metric Mass Song Metric Units: Mass INVESTIGATION Task: ‘Stations’ Student work in groups of 3 or 4 to complete the following 4 stations: Measuring station – weigh scales, students measure the weight of various groceries and record in their books. Ordering station – students a set of groceries from lightest to heaviest using balance scales and weight scales and record in their books. Comparing station – students compare groceries using hand hefting and record in their books. REFLECTION Ladder Mass pod Take photos of groups for pic collage sharing on wall ASSESSMENT the statements the students have made in their books from each station.
Balancing station – students using differing materials (paper clips, centicubes, counters, planks) to make specific weights by using balance scales, and record in their books. Extending Prompts: How can you challenge yourself? Enabling Prompts: Peer coaching Session 8 LEARNING INTENTION We can measure, order and compare objects using familiar metric units. Mass TOOL SESSION 20 Sum Challenge WHOLE CLASS FOCUS Videos – You Tube Top 10 Heaviest Animals. INVESTIGATION Task: Worksheet ‘Animals and their Masses’ REFLECTION Mass Fact Book – Students fill in a book to consolidate facts about measuring mass. Ladder Mass pod ASSESSMENT Have the students shown a good understanding in the Mass Fact Book? Session 9 LEARNING INTENTION We can measure, order and compare objects using familiar metric units Focus: Volume TOOL SESSION 20 Sum Challenge WHOLE CLASS FOCUS Fruit Punch Show students how to measure accurate quantities of the 3 liquids to make their own glass of fruit punch during the lesson 50 ml of juice 100 ml of lemonade 100 ml of dry ginger 1 strawberry (chopped) 3 slices of bananas INVESTIGATION Task: Make a Measuring jug a 2 litre bottle (soft drink or milk jug, students use water, measuring containers, tape and textas to mark off measurements. Use 200ml increments. Eg. (but with metric) Extending Prompts: Mark in 100ml intervals Enabling Prompts: Mark the litre first REFLECTION Study Ladder Volume pod Extension
Session 10 LEARNING INTENTION We can measure, and compare objects using familiar metric units Focus: Volume The way we measure to be uniform for measurements to be meaningful. TOOL SESSION 20 Sum Challenge CLASS FOCUS Videos – You Tube Show Capacity-volume demonstration This experiment be tested in the classroom (if you’re game!) INVESTIGATION Task: Capacity and Volume worksheet REFLECTION Volume Fact Book – Students fill in a book to consolidate about measuring volume. Study Ladder Volume pod ASSESSMENT Have the students shown a good understanding in the Volume Fact Book? Session 11 LEARNING INTENTION We can convert between standard units of measure TOOL SESSION 20 Sum Challenge WHOLE CLASS FOCUS – You Tube Metric System Conversions Song | Measurement by Numberock Powerpoint – ‘Metric Conversion’ INVESTIGATION Task: Metric Conversion worksheet Extending Prompts: How can you challenge yourself and a partner? Enabling Prompts: Small group lead through REFLECTION Macmillan problem solving – see the end of the ‘Metric Conversion’ powerpoint ASSESSMENT Keep worksheet for assessment data Because we can, we’re extending this unit to include ‘area’. Our team will spend the first couple of weeks in Term III finishing off our measurement unit. We will include a few extra sessions on area. During this time we will also try to administer the pre-assessments for all the units planned for this term. Session 12 LEARNING INTENTION TOOL SESSION Tables at Tables (number fact practise) INVESTIGATION Task: ‘Geo Board Areas’ REFLECTION ASSESSMENT Check student work
Session 14 LEARNING INTENTION We can measure, order and compare objects using familiar metric units. Focus: Area TOOL SESSION Tables at Tables (number fact practise) WHOLE CLASS FOCUS Video – You Tube Math Antics – Area Review what we’ve done with this video and continue on to the second half covering the area of triangles.
