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

Lesson One : Classroom Heights

Investigate and practise different ways of comparing the height of classroom objects using non-standard measurements

Lesson Two : Cube Towers

Measure and compare the height of objects using non-standard measurements for numbers of cubes built into tower shapes

Lesson Three : Container Volumes

Estimate, measure and compare the number of objects that can fill different containers that might be used in the classroom

Lesson Four : Vessel Capacities

Identify and compare the capacities of different sized vessels and containers using special vocabulary and by counting cubes

Lesson Five : Comparing Masses

Use non-standard measurements to estimate, describe and compare the mass of different objects used in the classroom

  • One Less

    One Less

    Identify and record counted sets of objects that are one less than different numbers to ten on the theme of farms and farming

  • Farm Jobs

    Farm Jobs

    Identify and record how to use a selection of jobs that can be performed on a farm to identify the number sums that are one less than different numbers to ten

  • Animal Counting

    Animal Counting

    Explain and model how to use a selection of number sentences to identify the sums that are one less than different numbers to ten to show information about animals on a farm

  • Counting Cows

    Counting Cows

    Practise counting and recording the matching sums to ten that one less than different numbers of animals that can found living on a farm
