identify which metric units are used to measure everyday items; use measurements of familiar items and known units to make estimates

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a NAPLAN-year topic. Bloomi teaches it with a short explainer, guided practice, and NAPLAN-style questions — every one traceable to this exact code.

What this looks like in the classroom

• examining the packaging on supermarket items to determine the metric unit used to describe the mass or volume of the contents
• identifying items that have a mass of one kilogram or \(500\) grams, or a capacity of one litre or \(500\) millilitres and using these benchmarks to estimate the mass or capacity of other things, explaining their reasoning
• estimating the height of a tree by comparing it to the height of their friend and quoting the result as “the tree is about \(3\) times as tall”; estimating the capacity of a fish tank by using a litre milk carton as a benchmark
