In this 2-week unit students are provided opportunities to:

  • use a scaled instrument to relate 1000 grams to one kilogram
  • interpret commonly used fractions of a kilogram, including one half, one quarter and three quarters and relate these to the number of grams
  • select and use appropriate units to estimate, measure and compare lengths and distances and convert between units of measure.

Representing numbers using place value B – MAO-WM-01, MA2-RN-02

Decimals: Extend the application of the place value system from whole numbers to tenths and hundredths

Geometric measure B – MAO-WM-01, MA2-GM-02

Use scaled instruments to measure and compare lengths
