Measurement
Make it practical - measure things inside and outside the classroom using a 30 cm ruler and a tape measure
Set up a measurement scavenger hunt around the school
Make links to number, statistics, shape and generalise to algebra

All about me
(Year 9 Level 2 to 5+)
Measure: armspan, height, feet, handspan, forearm
Number: Use mm, cm, m [multiply and divide by 10,100,1000]
Statistics: Collate class data and draw graphs of class data - notice & wonder
Take samples from Census at School - draw graphs, notice and wonder
Masterpiece 2 from CAS
Find relationships: eg height to armspan. Height to foot length; foot length: forearm
Generalise [in words and symbols] height is approximately 6 times the foot length, h=6x where x represents the length of a foot
Da vinci ratios from Figure it out - compare ratios by converting to decimals (l5)
the rectangle could simply be a rectangle or it could be a swimming pool, a taro patch, a section.

(Y9 Level 2 to 5+)
Trace around the outside of my hand, palm down
Divide the hand up into between 3 and 5 geometric shapes eg rectangle, triangle, trapezium Modelling (2D)
Take measurements in cm or mm
Use the measurements to find the area of each shape
Use these calculations to find the approximate area of my hand 9 in square cm and/or square mm
