Unit F – Measurement
This numeracy scheme of work for the Foundation Stage gets the children to practise and model different ways of measuring and comparing the length, height, volume, capacity and mass of objects using counting skills. The class can identify and explain how to use non-standard measurements to compare objects.
Practise and model different ways of measuring and comparing the length, height, volume, capacity and mass of different objects by using counting skills
