Plant Measurements

This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to estimate, measure and record the lengths of different parts of a plant using measurements in units for centimetres and millimetres.
The class can explain and model how to use a ruler correctly to measure the length of something using the correct matching divisions for each unit of measurement.
Download this teaching pack including classroom activities and an interactive presentation to estimate, measure and record the lengths of different parts of a plant using measurements in units for centimetres and millimetres
Activities in this teaching pack include a differentiated set of worksheets to estimate, measure and record the lengths of different parts of a plant in whole centimetres for support ability levels, in half centimetres for core ability levels and in centimetres and millimetres for extension ability levels.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to estimate, measure and record the lengths of different parts of a plant in centimetres and millimetres.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to practise estimating, measuring and converting the lengths of different objects working with measurements in millimetres, centimetres and metres. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
