This presentation provides three days of teaching that cover the objectives:
- Measure perimeters in mm, cm, m
- Convert
- Use bar charts
It includes starter activities, whole class teaching, group activities, practice sheets and mastery questions. It can be used on a variety of interactive whiteboards.
Day 1 Teaching
Give out chocolate buttons and ask children to measure each one in mm. Then discuss measuring our fingernails. Record measurements on a bar chart of all 5 fingers.
Day 2 Teaching
Discuss perimeters in context of measuring the distance round the edge of a book. Measure the perimeter of different 2-D shapes in cm. Then measure perimeter of the classroom in metres.
Day 3 Teaching
Model using a ruler to measure one book in cm to nearest cm. Then record length of each side and show how we calculate perimeter by doubling the total.
This teaching is part of Hamilton’s Year 3 Measures and Data block. Each Hamilton maths block contains a complete set of planning and resources to teach a term’s worth of objectives for one of the National Curriculum for England’s maths areas.
