16 The National Strategies | PrimaryOvercoming barriers in mathematics –helping children move from level 2 to level 3Measuring strandYear 3 objectives Year 4 objectives Overcoming barriers sequencesKnow the relationships between kilometresand metres, metres and centimetres, kilogramsand grams, litres and millilitres; choose and useappropriate units to estimate, measure and recordmeasurementsChoose and use standard metric units and theirabbreviations when estimating, measuring andrecording length, weight and capacity; know themeaning of ‘kilo’, ‘centi’ and ‘milli’ and, whereappropriate, use decimal notation to recordmeasurements (e.g. 1.3 m or 0.6 kg)■■Can I explain the relationships betweenkilometres and metres, metres and centimetres,kilograms and grams, litres and millilitres?Read, to the nearest division and half-division,scales that are numbered or partially numbered;use the information to measure and draw to asuitable degree of accuracyInterpret intervals and divisions on partiallynumbered scales and record readings accurately,where appropriate to the nearest tenth of a unit■■Can I explain what each division means on anumbered or partly numbered line and usethis information to read a scale to the nearestdivision or half-division?Draw rectangles and measure and calculate theirperimeters; find the area of rectilinear shapesdrawn on a square grid by counting squaresRead the time on a 12-hour digital clock and to thenearest 5 minutes on an analogue clock; calculatetime intervals and find start or end times for a giventime intervalRead time to the nearest minute; use am, pm and12-hour clock notation; choose units of time tomeasure time intervals; calculate time intervalsfrom clocks and timetables■■■■Can I read the time to the nearest 5 minuteson an analogue clock using the correctvocabulary?Can I show on a digital clock a time given tome on an analogue clock, and the other wayround?■■Can I work out how long it is between twotimes?00099-2008BKT-EN© Crown copyright 2008
