A pictorial representation of a problem where bars are used to represent the known and unknown quantities.

Some but not all of something.  It is an amount or section which, when combined with others, makes up the whole.

Solve problems involving length and height

Maths

In this unit pupils will continue to measure using appropriate tools and units progressing to using a wider range of measures including comparing and using mixed units In the future unit pupil will learn perimeter as the distance around the edge of a 2D shape They will learn perimeter is measured in units of length found by counting units and by calculating by adding the side lengths of a 2D shape

In the prior unit pupils chose, used and compared appropriate standard units to estimate and measure length/height, mass, temperature, capacity to the nearest appropriate unit. In this unit pupils will continue to measure using appropriate tools and units progressing to using a wider range of measures, including comparing and using mixed units.

Measuring length and recording in tables

Look at this word problem and empty bar model. Match the given lengths to the whole or a part. 

Use the bar model to support you to identify the calculation, and then solve the problem. Choose two correct answers.

Izzy's sunflower is 3 m 90 cm tall. Andeep's is 200 cm tall. How much taller is Izzy's sunflower than Andeep's? Choose all possible options.

Use the bar model to support you to identify the calculation, and then solve the problem. Choose all possible options.

Izzy lays two sticks end to end. The first stick is 20 cm long. The second stick is 40 mm long. Jacob has a stick that is 50 cm long. How much longer is Jacob's stick than the total length of Izzy's?

A standardised unit of measure that is equivalent in length to 100 cm is called a {{ }}.

Starting with the shortest, put these lengths in order.
