  • gives examples of situations where a longer unit than the metre is needed for measurement
  • measures a kilometre and half-kilometre
  • converts between units when comparing lengths and distances eg metres and kilometres, centimetres and metres
  • records lengths or distances using decimal notation to three decimal places eg 2.753 km
  • interprets symbols used to record speed in kilometres
  • selects and uses the appropriate measuring device to measure lengths, distances or perimeters
  • selects and uses the appropriate unit to record lengths, distances or perimeters
  • measures the perimeter of a large area
  • estimates, measures and compares the perimeters of squares, rectangles and triangles
  • explains that the perimeters of squares, rectangles and triangles can be found by finding the sum of the side lengths
Foundation Statements
Selects and uses the appropriate unit to estimate/measure/calculate length
Ask questions & select appropriate problem solving strategies, including technology to undertake investigations.
Use mathematical terminology and some conventions and give a valid reason when comparing and selecting from possible solutions and make connections with existing knowledge and understanding
