Taught alongside it

The rest of Measurement in Year 6.

AC9M6M01

convert between common metric units of length, mass and capacity; choose and use decimal representations of metric measurements relevant to the context of a problem

AC9M6M03

interpret and use timetables and itineraries to plan activities and determine the duration of events and journeys

AC9M6M04

identify the relationships between angles on a straight line, angles at a point and vertically opposite angles; use these to determine unknown angles, communicating reasoning

The same idea, year by year

Where AC9M6M02 comes from and where it goes, for a student working below or above Year 6.

  1. Year 5AC9M5M01choose appropriate metric units when measuring the length, mass and capacity of objects; use smaller units or a combination of units to obtain a more accurate measure
  2. Year 5AC9M5M02solve practical problems involving the perimeter and area of regular and irregular shapes using appropriate metric units
  3. Year 5AC9M5M03compare 12- and 24-hour time systems and solve practical problems involving the conversion between them
  4. Year 5AC9M5M04estimate, construct and measure angles in degrees, using appropriate tools including a protractor, and relate these measures to angle names
  5. Year 7AC9M7M01solve problems involving the area of triangles and parallelograms using established formulas and appropriate units
  6. Year 7AC9M7M02solve problems involving the volume of right prisms including rectangular and triangular prisms, using established formulas and appropriate units
  7. Year 7AC9M7M03describe the relationship between \(π\) and the features of circles including the circumference, radius and diameter
  8. Year 7AC9M7M04identify corresponding, alternate and co-interior relationships between angles formed when parallel lines are crossed by a transversal; use them to solve problems and explain reasons
  9. Year 7AC9M7M05demonstrate that the interior angle sum of a triangle in the plane is 180° and apply this to determine the interior angle sum of other shapes and the size of unknown angles
  10. Year 7AC9M7M06use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving ratios; formulate problems, interpret and communicate solutions in terms of the situation, justifying choices made about the representation
