Measurement
Pupils should be able to:
- Convert between different units of metric measure (for example, kilometre and metre; centimetre and metre; centimetre and millimetre; gram and kilogram; litre and millilitre).
- Understand and use approximate equivalences between metric units and common imperial units such as inches, pounds and pints.
- Measure and calculate the perimeter of composite rectilinear shapes in centimetres and metres.
- Calculate and compare the area of rectangles (including squares), and including using standard units, square centimetres (cm2 ) and square metres (m2 ) and estimate the area of irregular shapes.
- Estimate volume [for example, using 1 cm3 blocks to build cuboids (including cubes)] and capacity [for example, using water].
- Solve problems involving converting between units of time.
- Use all four operations to solve problems involving measure [for example, length, mass, volume, money] using decimal notation, including scaling.
