Students will develop confidence and competence with measurement. They will recognise the role of measurement in everyday activities including industry and commerce. The unit focuses on Working Mathematically in Number and Measurement. It examines situations where knowledge and skills relating to measurement are required, such as sports, games, technology and enterprise and society and the environment. Attributes, comparing and ordering, non-standard units, standard units and applications of measurement will be examined within an historical framework, enhancing the learning experience of school students. Students will become aware of the physical attributes of objects and will focus on effective teaching and learning strategies for engaging and innovative classroom practice. Students will process variations in different contexts and situations. This unit is linked to work place practice and students will be required to link the theory from the unit to their observations and experiences in school settings.
