A table is data arranged in rows and columns.

A collection of numbers, words, measurements and descriptions of things.

A column is a vertical arrangement of objects or numbers going up and down.

A row is a horizontal arrangement of objects or numbers going across.

Maths

Estimate in metres and describe a metre in different ways

Measure length and height from zero using whole m or cm

Converting between metres and centimetres

Solve problems involving length

Solve problems involving length and height

In this unit pupils will continue to measure using appropriate tools and units progressing to using a wider range of measures including comparing and using mixed units In the future unit pupil will learn perimeter as the distance around the edge of a 2D shape They will learn perimeter is measured in units of length found by counting units and by calculating by adding the side lengths of a 2D shape

In the prior unit pupils chose, used and compared appropriate standard units to estimate and measure length/height, mass, temperature, capacity to the nearest appropriate unit. In this unit pupils will continue to measure using appropriate tools and units progressing to using a wider range of measures, including comparing and using mixed units.
