Use Standard Units
Start here
Focus on using standard units to measure length mass and capacity. Start with “Choose the Correct Unit of Measure”, then explain the idea in your own words.
Year 2 learners practise using standard units to measure length mass and capacity.
The activities include Choose the Correct Unit of Measure, Measure and Estimate Length, Mass, Temperature and Capacity, Measure Length, Mass, Temperature and Capacity, and related practice. The checked support below includes video, worksheet, teaching, lesson pack. Open a resource in its provider's website and choose the format that best helps the learner explain the idea independently.
