Lesson 1
Units, Accuracy and Measurement Error
Convert practical measurements, choose units, and use accuracy, absolute error and percentage error.
Lesson 2
Area, Surface Area and Volume
Use perimeter, area, surface area, volume and capacity for rooms, materials, containers and tanks.
Lesson 3
Energy, Mass and Practical Measurement
Use mass, food energy labels, kilojoules, electricity use in kWh, and practical reasonableness checks.
Lesson 4
Composite Shapes and Land Measurement
Find areas of L-shapes and other composite figures by splitting into rectangles and triangles, and convert between square metres and hectares for land measurement.
Lesson 5
Density, Concentration and Practical Rates
Apply D = M/V for density, calculate fuel consumption in L/100 km, population density in people per km², and concentration in g/L.
Lesson 6
Scale Drawings and Models
Interpret scale 1:n to find real lengths from drawings and drawing lengths from real measurements, and apply the squared scale factor for areas.
Lesson 7
Applications of Measurement Exam Practice
Practise mixed measurement questions involving units, accuracy, error, area, volume, capacity, energy, mass and electricity use.
Lesson 8
Trapezoidal Rule for Irregular Areas
Apply the Trapezoidal rule to estimate the area of irregular blocks, paddocks and cross-sections by dividing shapes into trapezoids using equally spaced offset measurements.
Lesson 9
Applications of Measurement Revision
Activate Year 10 prior knowledge: converting between metric units of length, area and volume; calculating perimeter and area of rectangles and triangles; practical measurement contexts.
