This site presents a range of explorations on the various attributes of Measurement (F- 6). The main aspect of the games is reading scales, rulers etc; correct or incorrect situations. The games are suited for practice and fluency.

This story and article explores measuring length. Why did we move from feet to metres?

This activity emphasises the essential unit structure embedded in rulers. Do children know how to measure accurately? It outlines a task using a broken ruler and unpacks the task by exploring a range of possible responses.

A collection of resources to help explore length including a concept flow chart, and activities from the Guidelines in Measurement and CTLM 2009.

** These tasks can be developed into an explicit instruction lesson or are suitable once students have moved beyond novice learners and are expert learners.

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 website 'Illuminations' is in association with the National Council of Teaching Mathematics (NCTM) USA. This interactive activity allows children to explore the 3 dimensions of Volume using cubes and boxes.

Explore the idea of having benchmarks of 1 kilogram and 1/2 kilogram, or 500 grams, to aid in estimating the mass of given objects. 

Investigate different passages of time.

Video and task ideas from ABC Education exploring 24 and 12 hour time.  Includes AM and PM explanation.
