This unit comprises 5 stations, which involve the students in developing an awareness of the attributes of length and area. The focus is on the development of appropriate measuring language for length and area. 

In this unit we look at the beginning of the concept of angle. As students come to understand quarter and half turns, they also begin to see that ‘angle’ is something involving ‘an amount of turn’. These ideas are explored by using students’ bodies, toys, games and art.

In this unit we take measurements of ourselves which we store in a time capsule to open and use later in the year.

This unit encourages students to use measurement language and counting to compare the attributes of length, width or height of objects in a variety of game situations. The transition from counting all to advanced counting is also supported.

This unit comprises 5 stations, which involve the students developing an awareness of the attributes of volume and mass. The focus is on the development of the language of measurement.

In this unit we compare the volumes of containers using the context of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

In this unit we explore the use of non-standard units for measuring volume. We use bottles, cups, spoons and cubes to measure the volumes of objects. The unit is set out as a "stations" week, with five related but not linked activities.

This unit is based around a series of activities in which students explore aspects of measurement using non standard units to answer a 'how many' question. They make predictions and work in pairs over 4 to 5 sessions.

In this unit students estimate the sizes of common farm animals and draw life-size diagrams of these animals. They also use non-standard measurement units to check their estimations and design appropriate shelter for some of these animals.

In this unit students use the traditional tale of the gingerbread man as a context for ordering and comparing lengths. A “sessions” approach is used, with five related but not sequential activities.

In this unit we compare the lengths of the students’ favourite soft toys directly and then indirectly using multi-link cubes.

This unit provides opportunities for students to order and compare objects according to their area.

This unit begins by having students use their bodies to measure the area of different shapes drawn on the floor. A further understanding of area is developed through the use of beans, counters and blocks to measure the area of objects in the classroom.

This unit comprises 5 stations, which involve the students comparing the weight of two or more objects.

In this unit we compare the weight of the students’ favourite soft toys directly, and then indirectly, using beads. Although the technically correct term to use is mass, the term weight is used here.

In these five activities the students explore sequences of time and the concept of faster and slower. These are teacher-led, whole class activities.

In these five activities the students compare the duration of events, learn the order of months and read the time to the hour and half-hour

This unit comprises 5 stations, which involve the students developing an awareness of the attributes of temperature The focus is on the development of language for describing temperature.

The purpose of this activity is to engage students in comparing lengths of different objects.

The purpose of this activity is to engage students in estimating and comparing the capacity of objects with different dimensions.
