Term 3: Week 3

EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING units of measurement associated with length, mass & capacity
• We are CALCULATING conversions between mixed length units
• We are MEASURING and marking scales accurately (ruler, protractor, scale dials, spedomter dials, etc)
• We are COLLABORATING to make reasonable estimates, without the use of geometric tools

Kia ora 7F2,

This week we will be exploring units and conversions of measurement through the context of 'Globe Trotting - The Olympics'. 

Authentic Outcomes:  Globe-Trotting: The Olympics

Success Criteria:  I can...
• Name units of measurement associated with length (mm, cm, m and km)
• Calculate conversions between mixed units of length (mm and cm, cm and m, m and km, etc.)
• Multiply and divide units by 10, 100, and 1000
• Recall my basic + , - , x and ➗ facts

Do Now: 
Students will complete their Numeracy Ninja 'Do Now' Task.  Mark as a class. 




Class Activities: 

Measurement (Olympics)


1.  Introduction to Measurement: Units of Measurement associated with length (mm, cm, m and km).  

2. Note taking of measurement conversions associated with length eg. a metre is 1000 x a millimetre.  Class discussion re: appropriate unit of measurement for measuring length of the width of a pen, the length of a finger, the height of a person, and the distance between two cities.  

3. Complete conversions associated with length.  AWS Task 7, attached below...

4.  'Marking' then hand in to Miss Kindley. 




Homework:   


Please complete the Maths Buddy task below, during Teacher Only Day (Tuesday).
