TOPIC CONTENT DESCRIPTOR KEY IDEA Pre-ASSESS ASSESSMENT INVESTIGATION STUDENT JOURNAL RESOURCES 1.3.8 Measurements informal units 2 ACMMG019 Measure and compare the lengths and capacities of pairs of objects using uniform informal units. Explain direct and indirect comparisons of length using uniform informal units. Working in pairs, students select one type of measuring unit and an object to be measured. They first estimate, then cover the area of the object, and then count the number of units used. Observe students as they complete the Variation tasks. Do students explain why they need to measure using: Uniform units of measure No gaps and overlaps Use language of more, less, same to compare capacity and big. little, large, small to compare area. With the water play, set the challenge for the students: Find a container that holds exactly 5 cups of water How many cups of water can you pour from the shampoo bottle? Find two different shaped containers that hold exactly the same amount of water. Assorted standard and non-standard materials for measuring, such as counter, unifix cubes, pop sticks, plastic milk bottle caps or envelopes. Different sized cups, caps and same sized containers.
