Measurement

Exploring the concept of speed. Students will realize that speed is made up of two measurements, one of distance travelled, and one of time taken. These two measurements can be used to calculate speed, which can be converted to different units.

L.I. Students will be able to 1. Use appropriate scales, devices & metric units for length, area, volume & capacity, weight (mass), temperature, angle and time. 2. Convert between metric units, using whole numbers and commonly used decimals. 3. Use a range of multiplicative strategies when operating on whole numbers.

S.C. We will (nzmaths.co.nz)
 * Calculate speed from measured distance and time
 * Solve multiplication problems using doubling and halving strategies
 * Use know multiplication facts to solve multiplication problems

L.I. Students will be able to

1. Convert between metric units, using whole numbers & commonly used decimals 2. Find fractions, decimals & % of amounts expressed as whole number, simple fractions & decimals 3. Draw a plan to scale

S.C. We will
 * follow instructions in diagram form, to construct two dimensional mathematical shapes e.g. triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons & hexagons
 * enlarge & reduce two dimensional mathematical shapes by a given scale factor
 * convert between mm, cm & m
 * multiply by whole & decimal numbers

Areas of Rectangles
L.I. Find areas of rectangles and volumes of cuboids by applying multiplication.

S.C.
 * Use multiplication to calculate the area of a rectangle
 * measure the length of a side using a ruler
 * use proportional reasoning to find the area of a rectangle

> > Students can find the area of composite shapes by finding the area of the rectangles. For example: >
 * 1) Students can continue to use the formula to find the area of rectangles, or if the area is known then finding the missing side length. For example:
 * 2) [[image:http://nzmaths.co.nz/sites/default/files/images/area54.gif height="142" caption="Rectangle area 54cm2, one length 6cm"]]
 * 1) Students can find areas of rectangles by measuring the lengths of the sides of rectangles then applying the multiplication formula.
