Use metres and kilometres for length and distances

• Recognise the need for a formal unit longer than the metre for measuring distance

• Measure 100 metres and recognise that 10 times 100 metres is one kilometre, ie 1000 metres 1 kilometre

• Estimate lengths and distances using an appropriate unit

• Record distances using the abbreviation for kilometres (km)

• Use a variety of measuring devices to measure lengths and distances in different contexts

Measure lengths to find perimeters

• Use efficient strategies to calculate the perimeter of a large rectangular area in metres

• Calculate perimeters of common two-dimensional shapes, including squares, rectangles and triangles

• Determine which side lengths are needed to find the perimeter of a shape

• Recognise that rectangles with the same perimeter may have different dimensions
