interpret unmarked and partial units when measuring and comparing attributes of length, mass, capacity, duration and temperature, using scaled and digital instruments and appropriate units

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

• reading the mass of objects measured with digital and analog kitchen scales and explaining what unit of mass the lines on the analog scales refer to
• deciding on which attribute, unit and measuring instrument to use to compare the length and mass of various things, such as the distance travelled by an object in a science investigation; explaining the use of units such as grams or millimetres to give accurate measures when needed
• using scaled instruments such as tape measures, measuring jugs, kitchen scales and thermometers, recording measures using whole units; for example, \(560\) millimetres, or whole and part units; for example, \(5.25\) metres, \(1.75\) litres, \(2.5\) kilograms, \(28.5\)° Celsius
