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
