NOTES FOR THE TEACHER MEASURES SUGGESTED TIME hours TEACHING OBJECTIVES Use, read and write standard metric units of mass and capacity. Suggest suitable units and equipment to estimate or measure mass, capacity and time. Read measurements from scales, including time. Know pound (lb), pint, gallon. Use all four operations to solve word problems involving measures. Choose appropriate operations and calculation methods. Convert from one metric unit to another (for example. grams to kilograms).

SECTIONS AND : MASS (WEIGHT) DIRECT TEACHING POINTS Pupils will be familiar with the term weight. The relationship between mass and weight is part of the KS Science Programme of Study. Give pupils practical experience of weighing, in order to help them estimate sensibly. These examples can form the basis of a class discussion. Pupils need benchmarks on which to base their estimates. kilogram = 000 grams kg = 000 g A bag of sugar weighs kilogram A bag of crisps weighs 5 grams A crisp weighs approximately gram Say whether each of the following statements is reasonable (YES) or not (NO). A large bag of crisps weighs 50 g. My dad weighs 500 grams. A bag of potatoes weighs kg. A bag of sweets weighs 0 kg. 5 A newborn baby weighs kg. 6 A newborn kitten weighs 50 g. 7 An apple weighs 5 g. 8 A small car weighs 000 kg. Pupils need to recall simple kg < > g conversions; kg, kg, kg and their decimal equivalents. Much of this work can be done orally. Section, exercises and provide examples. Section, exercises and use decimal notation. Introduce pupils to everyday examples of imperial units, as in Section, Star Challenge 5. Build on the use of number lines to reinforce the reading of scales. All pupils should solve problems involving mass Star Challenge.

Standard metric units of capacity The basic unit is a litre (l) cl centilitre l ml millilitre l 000 ml l Extend the use of number lines and counting sticks to reinforce the reading of scales. Pupils should recall simple conversions of litres to millilitres (and centilitres), and vice versa. Exercise can usefully be used as a set of oral word problems.

SECTION : TIME DIRECT TEACHING POINTS Make sure that all pupils are confident with both the -hour and -hour clock. Telling the time can be incorporated into ongoing mental work. Exercises and provide practice examples. An outline clock on an OHT can provide support. Pupils need to be taught how to read timetables. Demonstrate the process. Ask questions to test their understanding. Star Challenge 0 provides a practical example. This and Star Challenge involve essential skills of reading and understanding information. Exercise and Star Challenge 0 provide opportunities to calculate time intervals. Develop pupils skills, for example bridging through the next hour. 07:5 to 08:00 is 5 minutes. 08:00 to 08:0 is 0 minutes. The answer is 5 minutes. Make sure that pupils know the days of the week, months of the year and the number of days in each month. Demonstrate the use of a calculator to solve problems involving time. Pupils should be able to complete calculations like: How many minutes are there in days?
