Throughout the last 6 weeks, students have studied more complex ideas within the topic of measurement. This involved students learning about volume, capacity and the area and perimeter of a variety of shapes. Students enjoyed being able to use hands-on approaches to their learning which included using technology to measure objects around the school and even calculate the area of their own feet!

For the final assessment of the topic, students created their own dream bedroom. They had to use a scale to draw accurate designs of their room and how everything would fit within it. They recorded these measurements in a table and showed their mathematical understanding by also converting units of measurement and calculating the perimeter and area of what they purchased. This assessment was a great success and I believe students enjoyed it thoroughly.
