  • Reflection questions

  • Support and extension activities to target every student in your class

CURRICULUM OUTCOMES

Australian Curriculum:

  • Measure and compare objects based on length, capacity and mass using appropriate uniform informal units and smaller units for accuracy when necessary (AC9M2M01)

NSW Curriculum:

  • Outcomes:

    • Measures, records, compares and estimates the masses of objects using uniform informal units. (MA1-NSM-01)

  • Content:

    • Compare the masses of objects using an equal-arm balance

      • Use uniform informal units to measure the mass of an object by counting the number of units needed to obtain a level balance on an equal-arm balance

      • Select an appropriate uniform informal unit to measure the mass of an object and justify the choice

      • Explain the relationship between the mass of a unit and the number of units needed

      • Compare the masses of two or more objects using the same informal units

      • Estimate mass by referring to the number and type of informal unit used and check by measuring

      • Recognise that mass is conserved
