Year 4 Measurement and Geometry:
Year 5 Measurement and Geometry:
- Measures, records, compares and estimates lengths, distances and perimeters in metres, centimetres and millimetres, and measures, compares and records temperatures;
- Measures, records, compares and estimates areas using square centimetres and square metres
Year 5 Measurement and Geometry:
- Choose appropriate units of measurement for length, area, volume, capacity and mass (ACMMG108)
- Calculate the perimeter and area of rectangles using familiar metric units (ACMMG109)
Objectives:
For students to:
For students to:
- Understand different shapes can have the same perimeter;
- Make reasonable estimates for areas of their designs ie. The barbeque area;
- Choose the most appropriate tool to investigate their estimates;
- Calculate the area of various rectangular and square shapes in their designs using formal units and a basic formula;
- Develop and use a simple scale to calculate areas.

Year 4 TASK: Design a park area. They use grid paper to design their spaces and calculate the perimeters and areas using the scale 1 cm = 1 m.

Year 5 TASK: Design a community space with the perimeter of 240 metres.
Use Geometer’s Sketchpad to investigate the shape of your area and design your chosen features. Your scale is 1 cm2 = 10 m2.
You must include the measurements for all areas of your designs and you may use a calculator.
Items you may want to include: playground, sports area, sand pit, community vegetable garden, water feature, toilets, barbeque, grassed picnic area, bike riding track, gardens.
