Progression Point

Measurement, chance and data

0.5

• Use of yesterday, today and tomorrow and the ability to name the corresponding days
• Awareness that a clock changes in response to time in a daily cycle

1.0 Standard

… Students recognise the continuity of time and the natural cycles such as day/night and the seasons.

They correctly sequence days of the week.

They use informal units such as heartbeats and hand claps at regular intervals to measure and describe the passage of time.

1.25

• Use of a clock to determine the hour
• Ordering of days, weeks, months and years

1.5

• Knowledge of the relationship between analogue and digital clocks

1.75

• Construction of a time line for daily activity and use of a diary for recording daily events
• Drawing of an analogue clock to match a given digital time and of reading an analogue clock to the nearest half hour

2.0 Standard

… Students make, describe and compare measurements of length, area, volume, mass and time using informal units.

They use formal units such as hour and minute for time, litre for capacity and the standard units of metres, kilograms and seconds

2.25

• Use of formal units of measurement; for example, metres to measure length, and hour, minute and second for time

2.5

• Reading of analogue clocks to the nearest quarter of an hour
• Construction and interpretation of a daily timetable

3.0 Standard

… Students estimate and measure length, area, volume, capacity, mass and time using appropriate instruments.

They read digital time displays and analogue clock times at five-minute intervals.

They interpret timetables and calendars in relation to familiar events.

4.0 Standard

… Students use metric units to estimate and measure length, perimeter, area, surface area, mass, volume, capacity time and temperature.

They measure as accurately as needed for the purpose of the activity.

They convert between metric units of length, capacity and time (for example, L–mL, sec–min).

5.0 Standard

… Students measure length, perimeter, area, surface area, mass, volume, capacity, angle, time and temperature using suitable units for these measurements in context.
