Measurement
We are starting a mathematics unit on measurement. Children will investigate concepts relating to time, money, capacity, volume, surface area, and mass. In this unit, we will:

• Use time zone maps.
• Relate 12-h and 24-h clocks.
• Find elapsed times.
• Estimate and count money to $10 000.
• Estimate, calculate, and develop formulas for surface area and volume of a regular prism.
• Relate cubic centimeters and cubic metres.
• Estimate, measure, and compare volume and capacity.
• Relate units of mass.

We will work with time in 24-h notation, money amounts to $10 000, capacity in millilitres and litres, volume in cubic centimetres and cubic metres, surface area in square centimetres and square metres, and mass in milligrams, grams, kilograms, and tonnes.
