Use, read and write standard metric units (km, m, cm, mm, kg, g, l, ml), including their abbreviations,and imperial units (mile, pint). (p.90)

Know and use the relationships between familiar units of length, mass and capacity.Know the equivalent of one half, one quarter, three quarters and one tenth of 1km, 1m, 1kg, 1litre in m, cm, g, ml. Convert up to 1000 centimetres to metres, and vice versa. (p.90)

Suggest suitable units and measuring equipment to estimate or measure length, mass or capacity.Record estimates and readings from scales to a suitable degree of accuracy. (p.92,94)

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'

Measure and calculate the perimeter and area of rectangles and other simple shapes, using counting methods and standard units (cm, cm2). (p.96)

Use, read and write the vocabulary related to time.Estimate/check times using seconds, minutes, hours.Read the time from an analogue clock to the nearest minute, and from a 12-hour digital clock.
Use am and pm and the notation 9:53.Read simple timetables and use this year's calendar. (p.98,100)

Describe and visualise 3-D and 2-D shapes, including the tetrahedron and heptagon.
Recognise equilateral and isosceles triangles.
Classify polygons using criteria such as number of right angles, whether or not they are regular, symmetry properties. (p.102)

Mental and Oral possibilities similar to physically holding a shape behind a book. Children predict what the shape will be. Oral explanation possibilities

Make shapes: for example, construct polygons by paper folding or using pinboard, and discuss properties such as lines of symmetry.
Visualise 3-D shapes from 2-D drawings and identify simple nets of solid shapes. (p.104)

Sketch the reflection of a simple shape in a mirror line parallel to one side (all sides parallel or perpendicular to the mirror line). (p.106)

Demonstration tool allows creation of shapes/patterns and showing reflection in mirror line

Recognise positions and directions: for example, describe and find the position of a point on a grid of squares where the lines are numbered.
Recognise simple examples of horizontal and vertical lines.Use the eight compass directions N, S, E, W, NE, NW, SE, SW. (p.108)

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 '

Make and measure clockwise and anti-clockwise turns: for example, from SW to N, or from 4 to 10 on a clock face.Begin to know that angles are measured in degrees and that:one whole turn is 360° or 4 right angles;a quarter turn is 90° or one right angle;half a right angle is 45°.Start to order a set of angles less than 180°. (p.110)
