Stage 1

Geometric measure A
Position: Follow directions to familiar locations
  • Give and follow directions, including directions involving turns to the left and right, to move between familiar locations

  • Give and follow instructions to position Loading  in models and drawings

  • Describe the path from one location to another on drawings and diagrams

Length: Measure the lengths of objects using uniform informal units
  • Use Loading  informal units to measure Loading  and distances by placing the units end to end without gaps or overlaps

  • Select appropriate uniform informal units to measure lengths and distances

  • Recognise and explain the relationship between the size of a unit and the number of units needed (Reasons about relations)

  • Count informal units to measure lengths or distances and describe the part left over

  • Record lengths and distances by referring to the number and type of unit used

  • Use a single informal unit repeatedly (iteratively) to measure length

Length: Compare lengths using uniform informal units
  • Compare the lengths of two or more objects using appropriate uniform informal units and check by placing the objects Loading  by side and aligning the ends

  • Explain why the length of an object remains Loading  when rearranged (Reasons about relations)

  • Estimate lengths, indicating the number and type of unit used and check by measuring

Length: Subdivide lengths to find halves and quarters
  • Use concrete materials to model both half and quarters of a whole length, highlighting the length

  • Identify two equal parts and the relationship of the parts to the whole length, linking words and images

  • Recognise when lengths have or have not been divided into halves and quarters
