Core Objective

NNS

Possible Resources

Use units of measurement to estimate, calculate and solve problems in everyday contexts involving length, area, volume, capacity, mass, time and angle; know rough metric equivalents of imperial measures in daily use (feet, miles, pounds, pints, gallons).

 

Measures and mensuration

(228–231, 234–241)

Deduce and use formulae for the area of a triangle, parallelogram and trapezium; calculate areas of compound shapes made from rectangles and triangles.

Measures and mensuration

(228–231, 234–241)

Know and use the formula for the volume of a cuboid; calculate volumes and surface areas of cuboids and shapes made from cuboids.

Measures and mensuration
