measure length by direct and indirect comparison
identify and compare area and mass
compare internal volume by filling and packing.
Before engaging in these teaching and learning activities, students would benefit from prior experience with:
using everyday language to compare length, mass, area and volume
sorting and organising objects based on attributes in everyday situations
awareness of measurement in everyday life such as pouring cups of water, comparing size and shapes.
