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
