measure the length of shapes and objects using informal units, recognising that units need to be uniform and used end-to-end
- using 2 different units (for example, icy pole sticks and pencils) to measure the length of an object (for example, a desk), and explaining why the number of units used may be different
- comparing the length of 2 objects, such as a desk and a bookshelf, by laying multiple copies of a unit and counting to say which is longer and how much longer; and explaining why they should not have gaps or overlaps between the units, as this will change the length of the unit
- measuring the distance between 2 locations using footsteps, comparing the results and explaining why there may be different results, for example, referring to the different lengths of footsteps as using different units
- measuring and comparing the length of objects using blocks; for example, comparing the height of 2 toys by stacking blocks one on top of the other and counting how many it takes to reach the height of each object to decide which is taller
