Perimeter - Scootle Measure Perimeter and Area Making Fractions Equivalent Fractions NAPLAN 2012 Teaching Strategies Strategies Students can: convert between millilitres and litres and between litres and kilolitres use formulas for calculating volumes of prisms and cylinders recognise the relationship between the capacity of liquids and the volume of solids Activities to support the strategies Activity 1 - Kilolitres Introduce the litre as the basic unit for measuring capacity in the metric system. 1000 millilitres (mL) = 1 litre (1 L) 1000 litres (L) = 1 kilolitre (1 kL) Students discuss liquids that are usually measured in: millilitres e.g. medicine, cans of drink litres e.g. cartons of milk, bottles of juice kilolitres e.g. water usage bill, pools Students research the capacity of: Sydney Harbour Warragamba Dam the nearest swimming pool the local water supply for the closest town or city irrigation water used in NSW in 2008 a large rainwater tank a petrol tanker the hot water system at home the local dam, river, creek or stream and the amount of water: Cut the table into cards.

Volume and Capacity NAPLAN 2012 Teaching Strategies Strategies Students can: measure the volume of a rectangular prism using informal units measure volume using cubic centimetres Activities to support the strategies Activity 1 Units to measure volume Materials Required: A variety of small boxesBase 10 cubes (ones) Collect a variety of small boxes e.g. match boxes, chalk boxes, 'popper' cartons. Volume is the amount of space occupied by an object e.g. Discuss: Which model was made from the most cubes? A centicube has a height = 1 cm length = 1 cm breadth = 1 cm A centicube has a volume of one cubic centimetre. Activity 2 Comparing volumes Students are given some plasticine or blu-tack and make three cubes, each 1 cm long, 1 cm wide and 1 cm high. Do all these cubes have the same volume? Is the amount of material in the sphere, equal to what was in the cube? What is the volume of the rectangular prism? Activity 3 Measuring Volume Students work in pairs and make a chart of facts about cubic centimetres. Cubic centimetres Measuring volume Further Activity
Equivalent Fractions Add, Subtract or Multiply Fractions Fractions Decimals Percents Jeopardy Play this Fractions Decimals Percents Jeopardy Game to practice changing fractions to decimals, decimals to fractions, percents to fractions, fractions to percents, percents to decimals, and decimals to percents. This game emphasizes the fact that fractions, decimals (that have a finite or a repeating decimal representation), and percents are different representations of the same rational numbers. The students will be asked to change different rational numbers from one form to another. The game is based on the following Common Core Math Standards: CCSS 4.NF.6 Use decimal notation for fractions with denominators 10 or 100. CCSS 7.NS.2.dConvert a rational number to a decimal using long division; know that the decimal form of a rational number terminates in 0s or eventually repeats.
