Outcomes
MA2-NSM-01 estimates, measures and compares the masses of objects using kilograms and gramsMA2-NSM-02 represents and interprets analog and digital time in hours, minutes and secondsContent dot points
Each dot point has its own page with resources matched to it.
Mass: Use scaled instruments to measure and compare masses
- Recognise the need for a formal unit smaller than the kilogram
- Use a scaled instrument to relate 1000 grams to one kilogram
- Identify familiar objects that could be measured in grams
- Measure and record mass in grams (g) using a scaled instrument
- Compare 2 or more objects by mass measured in kilograms and grams using a set of scales
- Interpret commonly used fractions of a kilogram, including 1/2, 1/4, 3/4, and relate these to the number of grams
- Record masses greater than a kilogram using kilograms and grams
Time: Represent and interpret digital time displays
- Identify situations where duration is measured in seconds
- Read or set the time on digital devices to the minute or second, recognising there are 60 seconds in one minute
- Recognise that the hour is read first in a digital display
- Determine the time remaining until the next hour on a digital clock
Time: Use am and pm notation
- Record times using the colon notation with am and pm to distinguish between morning and evening
- Relate the terms midday or noon and midnight to am and pm
- Relate analog notation to digital notation for time
