Focus

• recognise that length is the distance from one point to another
• compare the lengths of different objects
• sequence a group of objects from longest to shortest
• choose and demonstrate how to measure the lengths of different objects using non-standard units
• recognise that half units can be used to describe lengths
• recognise the need for using the same unit when measuring length
• recognise that more short units than long units are needed to measure the same length

This resource helps teachers develop concepts and demonstrate processes using PowerPoint animations.
