Learning Continuum of Numeracy (Version 8.4)

Using measurement

This element involves students learning about measurement of length, area, volume, capacity, time and mass.

Students estimate, measure, compare and calculate using metric units when solving problems in authentic contexts. They read clocks and convert between time systems, identify and sequence dates and events using a calendar and use timetables for a variety of purposes. In developing and acting with numeracy, students:

  • estimate and measure with metric units
  • operate with clocks, calendars and timetables.

Level 1a

Students:

Estimate and measure with metric units

use informal language and/or actions to describe characteristics of length, temperature, mass, volume, capacity and area in familiar environments

Operate with clocks calendars and timetables

sequence familiar actions and events in a variety of ways
