Unit D – Length and Height

This maths scheme of work for Key Stage Two gets the children to measure the length and height of different objects in metres, centimetres and millimetres using different measuring tools and equipment. The class can identify the best units to use when measuring the length and height of different objects.

Measure the length and height of different objects in metres, centimetres and millimetres using different measuring tools and equipment

Lesson One : Class Heights

Measure, record and compare the height of different pupils in the class using measurement units in metres and centimetres

Lesson Two : Millimetres and Centimetres

Practise measuring the length of different objects that can be found in the classroom using measurements recorded in millimetres and centimetres

Lesson Three : Millimetres Match

Explain and model how to use rulers correctly to measure the length of different objects in millimetres and centimetres accurately

Lesson Four : Ruler Lengths

Identify and model how to use rulers correctly to measure the lengths of different objects in millimetres and centimetres accurately

Lesson Five : Length Changes

Explain and record how to convert the lengths of different classroom objects between measurements in millimetres and centimetres

  • Ordering and Changing

    Ordering and Changing

    Explore and record how to order three digit numbers by the place value of their digits and how the digits in a number change their numerical values when finding ten and one hundred more or less

  • Changing Hundreds

    Changing Hundreds

    Explore and record the matching number sums that are one hundred more and less than different three digit numbers to show changes to the place values of their numerical digits

  • Digit Changes

    Digit Changes

    Identify and record the matching number sums that are ten less than different three digit numbers by illustrating changes to the values of their hundreds, tens and ones digits

  • Changing Numbers

    Changing Numbers

    Identify and record number sums that are ten more than different three digit numbers using abacus diagrams to model their changing values
