Measure, order and compare objects using familiar metric units of length (Level 3) 1. recognising the importance of using common units of measurement

2. recognising and using centimetres and metres Recognises cm Uses cm Recognises m Uses m
Use scaled instruments to measure and compare lengths (Level 4) 1. reading and interpreting the graduated scales on a range of measuring instruments to the nearest graduation Reads & interprets measurements on a:

30cm ruler 1m ruler tape measure

Choose appropriate units of measurement for length (Level 5) 1. recognising that some units of measurement are better suited for some tasks than others, for example kilometres rather than metres to measure the distance between two towns 2. investigating alternative measures of scale to demonstrate that these vary between countries and change over time, for example temperature measurement in Australia, Indonesia, Japan and USA

Chooses mm as correct unit of measurement Chooses cm as correct unit of measurement Chooses m as correct unit of measurement Chooses km as correct unit of measurement Identifies alternative units of measurement used in other countries

Connect decimal representations to the metric system (Level 6) 1. recognising the equivalence of measurements such as 1.25 metres and 125 centimetres Recognises how many:

mm are in 1 cm mm are in 1 m mm are in 1 km cm are in 1 m cm are in 1 km m are in 1 km

Convert between common metric units of length (Level 6) 1. identifying and using the correct operations when converting units including millimetres, centimetres, metres, kilometres 2. recognising the significance of the prefixes in units of measurement Identifies correct operation when converting:

mmcm mmm mmkm cmmm cmm cmkm mmm mcm mkm kmmm kmcm kmm
Recognise the significant prefixes of measurement of length
