The rest of Measurement in Year 1.

AC9M1M01

compare directly and indirectly and order objects and events using attributes of length, mass, capacity and duration, communicating reasoning

AC9M1M02

measure the length of shapes and objects using informal units, recognising that units need to be uniform and used end-to-end

The same idea, year by year

Where AC9M1M03 comes from and where it goes, for a student working below or above Year 1.

  1. Foundation YearAC9MFM01identify and compare attributes of objects and events, including length, capacity, mass and duration, using direct comparisons and communicating reasoning
  2. Foundation YearAC9MFM02sequence days of the week and times of the day including morning, lunchtime, afternoon and night time, and connect them to familiar events and actions
  3. Year 2AC9M2M01measure and compare objects based on length, capacity and mass using appropriate uniform informal units and smaller units for accuracy when necessary
  4. Year 2AC9M2M02identify common uses and represent halves, quarters and eighths in relation to shapes, objects and events
  5. Year 2AC9M2M03identify the date and determine the number of days between events using calendars
  6. Year 2AC9M2M04recognise and read the time represented on an analog clock to the hour, half-hour and quarter-hour
  7. Year 2AC9M2M05identify, describe and demonstrate quarter, half, three-quarter and full measures of turn in everyday situations
