Measurement

Level  2

I can...

• order by directly comparing (size, value, weight)

• put at least 3 objects into order by size

• use non standard measures to measure and compare objects (handspan, rods)

• know the days of the week in order

• know and use time vocabulary

• know and use calendar vocabulary

• know analogue times o’clock, half past, quarter to, quarter past

• count coins and notes using 2s, 5s and 10s

Early Level  3

I can...

• use a variety of whole number scales for different measurement units

• measure the attributes of an object against a standard scale

• be precise with measurement of length, capacity and weight

• find the perimeter of various shapes

• convert analogue time to digital and vice versa

• read a variety of timetables in order to gain information

• measure area using square units

• describe the relative size of a kilometre, metre, centimetre and millimetre in everyday contexts

• name basic units and their equivalents in length, volume and weight

 Level 3

 I can...

• name basic units and their equivalents for all different types of measures (eg mm, mL, mg)

• use the correct symbols for all units of measurement

• and read angles using a protractor

• convert analogue time to digital and vice versa

•  find the perimeter of various shapes using efficient strategies

• measure lengths beyond the unit measure eg 1.25 m using a metre ruler

• estimate and measure using appropriate tools

• carry out investigations using geometry and measurement  

• solve measurement problems by using a range of strategies

Level  4

I can...

• find the radius, diameter and circumference of a circle

• read a variety of timetables to gain information 

• convert between units of measurement using whole numbers and decimals

• know, understand and apply the formula for area and volume

• estimate and measure using a range of different tools and units of measure

• know, calculate and convert time in minutes and hours using analogue, digital and 24 hour time

• find the perimeters of various shapes using a range of different strategies

• read and write conventional symbols of measurement

Level 5

I can...

• Confidently convert between units measuring the same attribute

• Apply trigonometric approaches to solve real world problems

• Identify and use an appropriate metric unit during measurement tasks with accuracy

• Solve volume problems by multiplying area by length

• Understand the relationship between circumference and diameter is a constant ratio (π)

• Solve measurement problems by applying formulae

• Solve measurement problems by using measurement ratios and trigonometry

• Calculate circumference from the measurement of diameter or radius

• Solve perimeter and area problems by splitting shapes into component parts

• Understand that measurements aren’t always accurate so rounding results takes this into account
