Year 4 Measurement: Unmarked Scales and Partial Units

Help Year 4 students become accurate and thoughtful measurers with a complete unit on unmarked scales and partial units.

The unit teaches students to identify labelled values, count equal spaces, calculate the value of one interval and estimate readings between marks. Students apply these skills across length, mass, capacity, duration and temperature while learning to select appropriate units, compare equivalent measurements and check whether an answer is reasonable.
