Mass can be measured in grams and kilograms

Maths

Length can be measured in any direction to give height, length and distance

Explain why standard units of measure are needed

Length can be measured in metres and centimetres

Read scales in metres and centimetres

Compare and order lengths

Compare and order measurements of mass

Volume and capacity can be measured in litres and millilitres

Compare and order measurements of volume and capacity

Temperature

In this unit pupils will choose, use and compare appropriate standard units to estimate and measure length/height mass, capacity and temperature to the nearest appropriate unit.  In the future unit pupils will use weighing scales up to 1kg and tools to measure volume and capacity up to 1 litre. They will measure mass from 0 to above 1kg and measure volume from 0 to above 1 litre. 

In the prior unit pupils learned that polygons could be described sorted compared and named according to the number of sides and vertices They described 3D shapes finding different ways to sort and compare them In this unit pupils will choose use and compare appropriate standard units to estimate and measure length/height mass, capacity and temperature to the nearest appropriate unit
