Learning journey
Your child is learning practical measurement skills — reading clocks to five-minute intervals, measuring length and capacity using standard units, and working with money including making change.
Evidence of understanding
- Measure two objects and write 45cm > 32cm
- Order three containers by capacity after measuring each
- Use = when two measurements are the same
Assessment prompt
