Measurement

Learner:   Darius            Learning Coach: M Lennon           Date:   16 October 2017

Learning Area:  iDevelop - Mathematics

NZC Achievement Objectives:   Level 1 Mathematics Measurement: Students will create and use appropriate units and devices to measure length, area, volume and capacity, weight (mass), turn (angle), temperature, and time. Patterns and Relationships: Students will generalise that whole numbers can be partitioned in many ways.

Learning Observed

In a measurement unit during iDevelop Darius has been learning to identify different units of length.  He has been participating in a range of practical activities using both standard and non-standard units of measure. Darius has demonstrated his curiosity by making estimations about the length of various objects using non-standard measures (e.g. how many giant steps to the door?), then carrying out investigations through practical activities in order to check his estimations. During the measurement unit Darius is showing he is a capable learner by being able to use language, symbols, and text in order to measure the length of a particular object. Darius is a connected learner, taking his previous experience with measurement and applying it to his current learning.

Evidence of learning

“The cubes are best to measure because they were all the same size so our answers will be the same.” - Darius

Next Learning Steps

Keep making estimations about the length of various things. Begin using more standard forms of measurement
