MEASURES, SHAPE AND SPACE

90-101 Measures

Use, read and write standard metric units (km, m, cm, mm, kg, g, l, ml), including their abbreviations, and relationships between them. Convert larger to smaller units (e.g. km to m, m to cm or mm, kg to g, l to ml).Know imperial units (mile, pint, gallon). (p.91)
Suggest suitable units and measuring equipment to estimate or measure length, mass or capacity.Measure and draw lines to the nearest millimetre.Record estimates and readings from scales to a suitable degree of accuracy. (p.93,95)	Interactive Measuring Cylinder. Change scale, increments. Fill / empty cylinder. Fill / empty by desired amount of liquid or constant running. Standards/numeracy 'Measuring Cylinder' Interactive measuring scales with option to change scale and interval. Standards/numeracy 'Measuring Scales'
Understand area measured in square centimetres (cm2).
Understand and use the formula in words'length × breadth' for the area of a rectangle. Understand, measure and calculate perimeters of rectangles and regular polygons. (p.97)
Use units of time; read the time on a 24-hour digital clock and use 24-hour clock notation, such as 19:53. Use timetables. (p.99,101)	Matching analogue to 24hr digital time activity TeachingTime.co.uk Moveable Teaching Clock, also allows conversion to 24hr digital time TeachingTime.co.uk Analogue recognition activity, stopping clock at stated time (5 minute intervals).

102-111 Shape and Space

Recognise properties of rectangles. Classify triangles (isosceles, equilateral, scalene), using criteria such as equal sides, equal angles, lines of symmetry. (p.103)
Make shapes with increasing accuracy.Visualise 3-D shapes from 2-D drawings and identify different nets for an open cube. (p.105)
Recognise reflective symmetry in regular polygons: for example, know that a square has four axes of symmetry and an equilateral triangle has three.Complete symmetrical patterns with two lines of symmetry at right angles (using squared paper or pegboard).Recognise where a shape will be after reflection in a mirror line parallel to one side (sides not all parallel or perpendicular to the mirror line).Recognise where a shape will be after a translation. (p.107)	Demonstration tool allows creation of shapes/patterns and showing reflection in mirror line	Primary Resources 'Reflection'
Recognise positions and directions:read and plot co-ordinates in the first quadrant; recognise perpendicular and parallel lines. (p.109)	Interactive coordinates. !st quadrant, 2 quadrants and 4 quadrants optional. Plot points, plot letters, also the option of drawing shapes on grid. Option of removing squares so just left with coordinates very useful. Standards / numeracy 'Coordinates' Coordinates in 1st quadrant. Individual practice and whole class possibility Grid Club 'Coordinate Cops' Simple coordinate plotting in 1st quadrant Primary Resources 'Coordinates II' As Coordinate II, but larger quadrant used Primary Resources 'Coordinates '
Understand and use angle measure in degrees.Identify, estimate and order acute and obtuse angles.Use a protractor to measure and draw acute and obtuse angles to the nearest 5°.Calculate angles in a straight line. (p.111)	Visual demonstration of measuring angles to 5 degrees of accuracy or any specified accuracy.	Standards Site Whats My Angle (Turquoise Box) Also available from Ambleside
