Measurement resources

In this practical task, students make different shapes with four multi-link cubes, draw them, identify the smallest perimeter, and explain what happens to the area.

Students identify which of four shapes created from equilateral triangles has the largest area and which has the largest perimeter.

Students answer two multiple-choice questions about the number of smaller blocks that fit into larger cuboid containers.

Students use the scaled plan of a property to calculate the area of the pool, house, and lawn.

Student work out the side lengths and area of a tapa cloth from the measurement of a small section of it, converting between cm and metres.

In this practical task, students estimate how many multi-link blocks equal the length of two common classroom items. They then check their estimate with the blocks, then measure with a ruler.

Students identify the approximate capacities of everyday containers.

Students calculate the volume and surface area of a cuboid box.

Students calculate the number of 2cm blocks fit into a given 3-dimensional block model, and answer questions about one face, and volume of the block model.

Students interpret and answer questions from a bus timetable including some time calculations.

Students interpret and answer questions from a calendar showing one month of the year.

Students work out how much time some bus trips take.

Students use a calendar to answer questions about the days flowers are planted.

Students complete a timetable by adding on the time taken for each task.
