MATHEMATICAL CONCEPT:

MEASUREMENT
ECCDD201A Mathematic Education

Two children at a time will race their chosen vehicle

down the slide and will learn which car goes down
faster and which one goes slower.

Learning outcome:
 The children can learn about speed and how
does weight affects the speed of the toy
vehicles.
 Children are able to (ACECQA, 2018)
hypothesise, predict and experiment to

BIRTH TO 2 YEARS
Resources
o Two bowls ( big and small)
o Balls (big and small)
Learning experiences:
The educators will support and guide the children to
determine if the ball they pick is a small ball or the
big ball and put the small balls to the small bowl and
the big balls to the big bowl. This learning experience
will help children to compare and make a judgement
between two objects, which is smaller and which is
bigger
Learning outcome:
 Children are able to compare the two sizes
of the ball and learn the word big and
small to be used to compare objects.
 The children can (ACECQA, 2018) follow
and mirror the action of the educator
(p. 39).
Resources
o Outdoor slide
Resources
o A bowl of pebbles
o Two cups of Water
o A pitcher
o marker
o “A crow and the pitcher” story
Learning experiences:
After the educator read the story of “A crow and a
pitcher”, each child will get a chance to drop pebbles
into the pitcher and will keep track of the number of
the pebbles they put into the pitcher until the water
level is within the mouth of the pitcher.
Learning outcome:
 Children can (ACECQA, 2018) use an array of
strategies to solve problems and test cause
and effect (p. 39).
PRIMARY (FOUNDATION)
Resources
o Various objects with different length
(ribbons, rulers, sticks, yarns and shoe
laces
Learning experiences:
The educators can develop children’s understanding
about measurement by encouraging them to look for
objects or things inside the classroom that are longer
or shorter than object they chose. They can write or
Learning outcome:

 Children can compare objects against

each other to find out which one is longer
and which one is shorter.
 Children can (ACECQA, 2018) “create and
use representation to organise, record and
communicate mathematical ideas and
concepts “.

PRIMARY (STAGE 1)

Resources
o Weighing scale
o Book, paper, tissue box, rock, and
marble
o Pen
o Paper

Learning experiences:

The teacher can set up an experience to teach

children about weight or mass. The children will
weigh each objects and record each weight. The
children will look for objects around the classroom
with the same weight when combine and have
children record or draw the objects they saw.

Learning outcome:

 Children can (Australian Curriculum, 2015)

understand that in order to compare objects
the unit of measurement
REFERENCE should not change.
