Measurement, chance and data

3.5
  • Subdivision of a circle into two sectors according to a given proportion for arc length

4.0 Standard

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

4.5
  • Use of appropriate units and measurement of length, perimeter, area, surface area, mass, volume, capacity, angle, time and temperature, in context

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.

They interpret and use measurement formulas for the area and perimeter of circles, triangles and parallelograms and simple composite shapes.

5.75
  • Conversion between degrees and radians, and use of radians when calculating arc length and area of sectors

6.0 Standard

… Students estimate and measure length, area, surface area, mass, volume, capacity and angle.

They interpret and use mensuration formulas for calculating the perimeter, surface area and volume of familiar two- and three-dimensional shapes and simple composites of these shapes.
