Outcomes
MA3-NSM-01 selects and uses the appropriate unit and device to measure the masses of objectsMA3-NSM-02 measures and compares duration, using 12- and 24-hour time and am and pm notationContent dot points
Each dot point has its own page with resources matched to it.
Mass: Choose appropriate units of measurement for mass
- Identify the appropriate unit and device to measure mass
- Recognise situations where mass would be measured in thousands of kilograms or tonnes (t)
Mass: Connect decimal representations to the metric system
- Recognise the equivalence of whole-number and decimal representations of measurements of mass
- Interpret decimal notation for masses
- Measure mass using scales and record using decimal notation of up to 3 decimal places
Time: Compare 12- and 24-hour time systems and convert between them
- Recognise that 24-hour time is used to avoid confusion between am and pm
- Read time using appropriate 24-hour time language
- Convert between 24-hour time and 12-hour time using am or pm notation
- Read, interpret and use timetables from real-life situations, involving 12- and 24-hour time
