MEASURES, SHAPE AND SPACE

90-101 Measures

Use, read and write standard metric units (km, m, cm, mm, kg, g, l, ml, cl), including their abbreviations, and relationships between them. Convert smaller to larger units (e.g. m to km, cm or mm to m, g to kg, ml to l) and vice versa. Know imperial units (mile, pint, gallon, lb, oz). Know rough equivalents of lb and kg, oz and g, miles and km, litres and pints or gallons. (p.91)
Calculate the perimeter and area of simple compound shapes that can be split into rectangles. (p.97).
Appreciate different times around the world. (p.99,101)

102-111 Shape and Space

Describe and visualise properties of solid shapes such as parallel or perpendicular faces or edges.Classify quadrilaterals, using criteria such as parallel sides, equal angles, equal sides... (p.103,109)	Mental and Oral possibilities similar to physically holding a shape behind a book. Children predict what the shape will be. Oral explanation possibilities	Primary Resources 'Shape Reveal'
Make shapes with increasing accuracy. Visualise 3-D shapes from 2-D drawings and identify different nets for a closed cube. (p.105)
Recognise where a shape will be after reflection :in a mirror line touching the shape at a point (sides of shape not necessarily parallel or perpendicular to the mirror line); in two mirror lines at right angles (sides of shape all parallel or perpendicular to the mirror line). Recognise where a shape will be after two translations. (p.107)	Demonstration tool allows creation of shapes/patterns and showing reflection in mirror line	Primary Resources 'Reflection'
Read and plot co-ordinates in all four quadrants. (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' Location of coordinates in the four quadrants. Primary Games Billy Bug
Recognise and estimate angles. Use a protractor to measure and draw acute and obtuse angles to the nearest degree. Check that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°: for example, by measuring or paper folding. Calculate angles in a triangle or around a point. Recognise where a shape will be after a rotation through 90° about one of its vertices. (p.111)	Activity to estimate angles to 5 degrees of error, within 360 degree PrimaryGames Banana Hunt Visual demonstration of measuring angles to specified accuracy Standards/numeracy 'Whats my Angle?' (Turquoise Box) Visual demonstration of rotation of 90 degrees (and 45 degrees) about the origin Primary Resources 'Rotation'
