MAV produced weekly home learning guides to assist teachers to support families with mathematics home learning during 2020. There are three learning levels: F – 2, 3 – 6, and 7 – 9.
The tasks are a mix of open-ended, rich tasks, challenging tasks and small investigations covering all mathematical content areas. Scroll through the activity sets to find tasks for measurement.
A list and brief overview of story books that can be used when investigating Measurement. The Long Red Scarf by Nette Hilton is also a great book for Length. These books are available to purchase via Amazon.

Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom (APMC) 10 (2) 2005. An article by Lynda Weist that explores the link between area and perimeter through a hands-on, real life investigation. It can also be linked with Algebra when exploring co-variables. E.g. 2L + 2W = 24.

This site has 3 rich investigative units:
The first for F-2 asks the children to; describe objects as hot or cold, describe the day as hot or cold, compare the temperature of two objects, order a group of 2 or more objects by temperature.
