Summary - Out now!

This unit deals with measures used in mathematics including scales, 2D representations, perimeter, area and volume.  At the start of the unit estimation is considered in context, with rounding and sensible degrees of accuracy revisited (from Unit 4) and the use of inequalities to express error bounds for rounded and truncated numbers is developed. With elegant graphics to support the learning, students learn about scale drawings and bearings, using reasoning to solve contextualised problems. Plans and elevations are met, focusing on the skills needed to draw and interpret 2D representations of 3D objects.  The unit then moves on to shapes; finding the perimeter, area and volume of shapes such as triangles, trapezium, parallelogram, cuboids, prisms and composites of these shapes.  Standard formulae for area and volume are introduced and used, and these skills are applied through graded questions, reasoning and problem-solving tasks involving perimeter, area and volume.
