    Understanding What and How We Measure   - Developing an understanding of measurable attributes.

    8 specific outcomes

    Specific Curriculum Outcomes
    • MATH-G1-M-SCO1Explore physical materials and describe them using the vocabulary associated with linear measure (short/long, high/low, near/far, thick/thin, narrow/wide, deep/shallow).
    • MATH-G1-M-SCO2Classify the measuring attribute of length based on the vocabulary associated with it.
    • MATH-G1-M-SCO3Explore physical materials and describe them using the vocabulary associated with capacity (full, empty, same as).
    • MATH-G1-M-SCO4Categorise the measuring attribute of capacity based on the vocabulary associated with it.
    • MATH-G1-M-SCO5Explore physical materials and describe them using the vocabulary associated with mass of an object (heavy/light).
    MATH-G1-M-ELO2

    Understanding What and How We Measure - Comparing and ordering based on measurable attributes

    4 specific outcomes

    Specific Curriculum Outcomes
    • MATH-G1-M-SCO9Compare the length of two objects using direct comparison (i.e: place side by side and align one end) and explain reasoning using appropriate vocabulary; (shorter/longer, higher/lower, deeper/shallower, nearer/farther, thinner/ thicker, wider and narrower).

    MATH-G1-M-SCO6Categorise the measuring attribute of mass based on the vocabulary associated with it.
  1. MATH-G1-M-SCO7Explore physical materials and describe them using the vocabulary associated with area of a surface of an object (large/small).
  2. MATH-G1-M-SCO8Categorise the measuring attribute of area based on the vocabulary associated with it.
  3. Compare the capacity of two objects (filling and emptying) and explain reasoning using appropriate vocabulary (such as more or less, level is higher than or less than). .
  4. MATH-G1-M-SCO12Compare the area of two objects using direct comparison(i.e which one occupies more space) and explain reasoning using appropriate vocabulary (such as bigger and smaller).
  5. MATH-G1-M-SCO16Use parts of their body to conduct nonstandard measurement. (Palms, hand span, foot span)
  6. MATH-G1-M-SCO17Use objects to conduct non-standard measurement. (little stones, blocks, sand, toy cars, paper clips etc.)
  7. MATH-G1-M-SCO18Estimate and measure the mass and length of objects using non-standard measurement.
  8. MATH-G1-M-SCO19Apply the correct non-standard measurement to measure various items. Example: You would not use a hand span to measure capacity.
  9. MATH-G1-M-SCO20Show enthusiasm using non-standard measurement to measure objects.
  10. MATH-G1-M-SCO21List examples when they estimate measurement in their everyday lives.
  11. MATH-G1-M-SCO22Appreciate the importance of using estimations in everyday situations.
  12. MATH-G1-M-SCO26Identify 5c, 10c and 25c and relate their value to pennies (1c)
  13. MATH-G1-M-SCO27Read the date on the calendar.
  14. MATH-G1-M-SCO28Interpret details on a calendar.
  15. MATH-G1-M-SCO29Represent and recognize time on the hour and half past the hour on the analog and digital clock.
  16. MATH-G1-M-SCO30State their birthdate with pride.
  17. MATH-G1-M-SCO31Be willing to share the date every morning in class.
