Learning sequence 11 concepts

In prerequisite order. Each row is a self-contained “can-do”; open it for the full explanation, examples and resources.

M1.1
Measuring length

Compare/measure length (non-standard → m, cm, mm); estimate; use rulers.
Stage 1–3
M1.2
Telling time

Read the clock to hour/half-hour → 5 min → minute; days/weeks/months/years; a.m./p.m.; durations; convert h/min/s; convert between decimal and sexagesimal systems.
Stage 1–6
M1.3
Money

Recognise coins/notes; make amounts; give change; decimal (comma) money notation.
Stage 1–3
M1.4
Temperature

Temperature (°C); read & measure with thermometers.
Stage 2
M2.1
Mass & capacity

Mass/weight (g, kg, t) and capacity/volume (ml, l): compare, measure, estimate.
Stage 2–3
M3.1
Perimeter & unit conversion

Perimeter of 2-D shapes; convert between metric units (linked to place value/decimals); approximate metric ↔ imperial equivalences (inches, pounds, pints; miles ↔ km).
Stage 3–4
M4.1
Area

Area (count squares → area of rectangles = l × w); area units (cm², m²); convert area units.
Stage 4–5
M4.2a
Angles as turns

Angles as a turn: recognise; right/acute/obtuse/reflex; compare & order angles.
Stage 3–4
M4.2b
Measuring angles with a protractor

Measure & draw angles in degrees with a protractor; angle sums; construct an angle of a given measure.
Stage 4–6
M5.1
Volume & surface area

Volume (count unit cubes → V = l × w × h / B × h); cubic units; surface area via nets; area of parallelograms & triangles.
Stage 5–6
M6.1
Circle measures

Circle measures: circumference (perimeter ∝ diameter) & area of a circle; composite perimeters/areas.
Stage 6
