A careful study of NAPLAN outcomes suggests that many students fall down on the measurement questions. When we looked into the issues that might be causing this consistent failure, we saw that there are certain features of measuring length that may well not be getting the attention that they need.

Book 2 focuses on the key areas of iteration and transitivity and then moves into an early introduction to formal units such as cm and metre. The clowns on the cover of this book are used in a slide show to illustrate the concept that you need less of a longer unit than a shorter unit – a concept that many students find puzzling at first (longer is associated with more).

The  activities in this book support the teaching of  Year 1: ACMMG019 and Year 2: ACMMG037.
