Position: Explore simple maps of familiar locations
  • Make simple models from memory, photographs, drawings or descriptions

  • Interpret simple maps by identifying Loading  in different locations

  • Create a path from one location to another

Length: Compare and order lengths, using appropriate uniform informal units
  • Make and use a tape measure calibrated in Loading  informal units

  • Compare and order two or more Loading  according to their Loading  using an appropriate uniform informal unit

  • Compare the lengths of two or more objects that cannot be moved or aligned (Reasons about relations)

  • Record length comparisons using drawings, numerals and words, and by referring to the uniform informal unit used

Length: Recognise and use formal units to measure the lengths of objects
  • Recognise the need for formal units to measure lengths and distances

  • Use the metre as a unit to measure lengths and distances to the nearest metre or half-metre

  • Record lengths and distances using the abbreviation for metres (m)

  • Estimate lengths and distances to the nearest metre and check by measuring

  • Recognise the need for a formal unit smaller than the metre

  • Recognise that there are 100 centimetres in one metre

  • Measure lengths to the nearest centimetre, using a device with 1-cm markings

  • Record lengths and distances using the abbreviation for centimetres (cm)

  • Estimate lengths and distances to the nearest centimetre and check by measuring

Length: Repeatedly halve lengths to form eighths
  • Use materials to model an eighth of a whole length, highlighting the length

  • Recognise when a length is divided into eight equal parts
