Assessment AND DELIVERY information

Centre devised assessment tasks should be approved by the internal verifier for the course before delivery takes place in order to ensure the assessment is fit for purpose and meets the standards required.

Unit Summary

In this unit, learners will gain experience in common measures and shapes including calculating, measuring and recording time and temperature. Learners will be able to usecommon metric and imperial units and will be able use scales to find dimensions and distance.

Indicative Content

Learning Outcome 1

1.1Measuring instruments: for example, clocks, watches or timers.

1.2Units of time: for example, second, minute, hour, day, week, month and year.

1.3Durations of time: for example, using 12 and 24 hour clock times, for example, cooking times, number of hours worked in a day and journey times from timetables.

1.4Directions of time: using a calendar, for example, term dates, holiday dates and return dates of holidays ofdifferent numbers of days/weeks.

Learning Outcome 2

2.1Measure temperature: use scales in degrees Centigrade (ºC) and degrees Fahrenheit (ºF).

2.2Same scale: (ºC or ºF), for example, compare the temperatures in different places from weather charts on TV or in holiday brochures.

2.4 Practical contexts, for example, room temperature, central heating settings, and settings for cool, medium and hotovens.

Learning Outcome 3

3.1Estimate lengths: in appropriate metric or imperial units.

3.2Measure:metric or imperial units as appropriate

3.3

3.4Imperial units: for example, yard, feet, inches, miles, tons, pounds, ounces, pints and gallons.

3.6 Convert: using approximate conversion factors and conversion tables.

3.8Units of measure: in the same system.

3.8 Practical contexts: for example, number of shelves that can becut from a length of timber, area of carpetfor a room and the cost.

Learning Outcome 4

4.1 Simple scales: such as 1cm represents 1m, identifying the units from the scale.

4.2Scales written as ratios: identifying that scale is independent of units, for example, if the scale were 1:100 on a plan, what would 1cm represent, what would 1mm represent.

4.3Different scales: for example, 1:20, 1:10 and 1:50.

4.4Map: for example, from a road map or OS map.

Learning Outcome 5

5.2Calculate: using the formula speed = distance/time.

5.3Calculate density: for example, g/cm3, people per km3, using formula density = mass/volume.

5.4 Convert: for example, calculate the price of items in different currencies; calculate the value of currency brought back from a holiday. Also recognising that the buying and selling rates are different and may vary on a daily basis.

Learning Outcome 6

6.3 Everyday problems: for example, to find the amount of ceiling coving, measure thecorresponding floor measurements.

Learning Outcome 7

7.1Perimeter: recognising the perimeter of a shape is the length of its boundary. Also to include where some of the lengths are missing and need to be calculated from information on other edges.

7.2Measuring: to find the relationship between the diameter and the circumference of a circle by measuring and express as a simple formula in words, identifying its approximate value.

7.3Simple formula: in words, identifying its approximate value.

7.4Circumference: using given formulae C= pi d and C=pi r with pi as 3.14

Learning Outcome 8

8.1Measured: in square units and that dimensions must be measured in the same units to calculate area

8.3Composite shapes (for example, non-rectangular) by breaking them down into regular shapes

Learning Outcome 9

Regular 3D shapes: cuboids, cylinders, triangular prisms) using given formulae

9.2Formula: from the area of the ‘end’ of the shape multiplied by its length

9.3 3-D shapes: to include the volumes of cuboids, cylinders and triangular prisms

Delivery Requirements/Recommendations

Assessment tasks will be devised to meet the needs of the learning group and to cover all the criteria.
