Term 3: Week 4

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, speedometer dials, etc)
• We are COLLABORATING to make reasonable estimates, without the use of geometric tools

Kia ora 7F2,

This week we are continuing to explore 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 mass (weight) (mm, cm, m and km)
• Calculate conversions between mixed units of weight (mg and g, g and kg, kg and t, 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 mass (weight) (mg, g, kg, and t).  

2. Note taking of measurement conversions associated with mass eg. the basic unit for measuring mass is the gram.  The mass of an object is ofter referred to as its weight.  What units would you use to measure the weight of a piece of paper, the mass of a car, and the weight of a person?  ( = mg, t and kg)

3. Complete conversions associated with length.  AWS Task 9, attached below...

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