Weight, Height & Right
The pictures show our incredible understanding of measurement. In EYFS, the children begin to explore the language related to measurement and this leads on in KS1 where they begin to apply that language to compare, describe, and order different measurements. As the children move up the school, with the help of small steps, they build their confidence to apply their knowledge of measurement to a range of problems.
Height of Learning - EYFS
Children have been learning about height in Reception. We have been ordering two to -three objects by their height and learning the language of tall, taller, tallest and short, shorter, shortest. Children have been exploring non-standard units of measurement within the continuous provision. In this photo, children have used cubes to measure the height of jungle animals.
Weight for It... - KS1
Children in Year 1 learnt to compare and order the mass of different items. They were able to count cubes as a unit of measurement to help them identify the mass of an item. The children then used the key words - heavier and lighter - to help compare the mass of items.
Pouring Up the Volume - LKS2
In Maths we have been learning about different units of measurement. We learnt how to measure volume and capacity (using ml and l) by participating in practical lessons and then building on their understanding by completing a range of questions and problems in their books.. By the end of the unit, children were able to read, add and subtract these units. To support this, they used part whole models when adding and subtracting between ml and l.
>90* Thinkers - UKS2
In summer term, Year 5 learn how to measure angles. We start with identifying acute, obtuse, and reflex angles and understanding their properties. We then progress to estimating angles and then measuring angles using a protractor. Later, pupils learn to calculate missing angles in various configurations, including those on a straight line and around a point. At the end of the sequence, the children will also be able to draw and measure their own angles using a protractor.
