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
