Taught alongside it

The rest of Measurement in Year 2.

AC9M2M02

identify common uses and represent halves, quarters and eighths in relation to shapes, objects and events

AC9M2M03

identify the date and determine the number of days between events using calendars

AC9M2M04

recognise and read the time represented on an analog clock to the hour, half-hour and quarter-hour

AC9M2M05

identify, describe and demonstrate quarter, half, three-quarter and full measures of turn in everyday situations

The same idea, year by year

Where AC9M2M01 comes from and where it goes, for a student working below or above Year 2.

  1. Year 1AC9M1M01compare directly and indirectly and order objects and events using attributes of length, mass, capacity and duration, communicating reasoning
  2. Year 1AC9M1M02measure the length of shapes and objects using informal units, recognising that units need to be uniform and used end-to-end
  3. Year 1AC9M1M03describe the duration and sequence of events using years, months, weeks, days and hours
  4. Year 3AC9M3M01identify which metric units are used to measure everyday items; use measurements of familiar items and known units to make estimates
  5. Year 3AC9M3M02measure and compare objects using familiar metric units of length, mass and capacity, and instruments with labelled markings
  6. Year 3AC9M3M03recognise and use the relationship between formal units of time including days, hours, minutes and seconds to estimate and compare the duration of events
  7. Year 3AC9M3M04describe the relationship between the hours and minutes on analog and digital clocks, and read the time to the nearest minute
  8. Year 3AC9M3M05identify angles as measures of turn and compare angles with right angles in everyday situations
  9. Year 3AC9M3M06recognise the relationships between dollars and cents and represent money values in different ways
