Understanding units of measurement description
This sub-element describes how a student becomes increasingly able to recognise attributes that can be measured and how units of measure are used and calculated. In making the transition from informal to formal units, a student attends to the structure …

Using equal units for indirect comparison describes the qualitative relationship between the size and number of units (with bigger units you need fewer of them) chooses and uses a selection of the same size and type of units to make indirect comparisons …

Using informal units of measurement estimates the total number of units needed to measure uses multiple informal units to measure length, mass or capacity (uses paper clips to measure the length of a line) chooses and uses a selection of the same …

Converting units converts between formal units of measurement recognises the relationship between metric units of measurement and the base-ten place value system explains why having 100 cm in a metre results in 10 000 cm2 in a square metre (using …

Using the structure of units explains the difference between different measures of the same shape or object (area and perimeter, volume and mass, volume and capacity) uses rows, columns and layers to find the number of units needed to measure volume creates …

Identifying the structure of units draws and describes the column and row structure to represent area as an array, moving beyond counting of squares by ones calculates the total area using rows and/or columns as composite units uses familiar household …

UuM5
Repeating a single informal unit to measure measures the length and area of a shape using a single informal unit repeatedly (iteration) (uses one paper clip when measuring the length of a line, making the first unit, marking its place, then moving …
