Learning journey

Your child is learning to measure the world around them — calculating areas and perimeters, converting between different units like metres and kilometres, and solving time problems using both analogue and digital clocks.

Evidence of understanding

  • Estimate the mass of a textbook in grams or kilograms
  • Read a scale to measure liquid volume in litres
  • Solve: 3 bags weigh 250 g each — what is the total mass?

Assessment prompt

If Measuring Liquids & Masses is filling bottles that each hold 250 ml from a 2-litre container of juice, can they work out how many bottles they can fill?
