compare directly and indirectly and order objects and events using attributes of length, mass, capacity and duration, communicating reasoning

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a readiness-year topic that builds towards the next NAPLAN year. Bloomi practises it as curriculum mastery, never test drilling.

What this looks like in the classroom

• using a piece of string to indirectly compare the length of several objects, deciding which will fit within a space; using comparative language to describe the order: shortest, short, longer, longest
• ordering the mass of \(3\) or more objects such as rocks, using hefting and balance scales; using comparative language to explain the order: lightest, light, heavier, heaviest, and how they decided on the order
• pouring sand/rice/water from one container to another to compare and order the capacity of \(3\) or more containers; describing the order of the results in terms of which holds the most/least, and those in between
