Length, weight and capacity

etf:121

From Move on
Curriculum references: MSS1/E3.5, MSS1/E3.6, MSS1/E3.7
Contexts: Learners will use measuring in a number of everyday and vocational contexts and will find it useful to build their confidence in estimating and measuring using different units. They can also develop their awareness of the links between metric measures and the value of using a system which uses multiples of ten, hundred and thousand.

Estimating

etf:119

From Move on
Curriculum references: N1/3.8, MSS1/E3.5, MSS1 /E3.6, MSS1/E3.7
Context: Being confident with estimating is a vital skill for learners to help them to check answers and to decide if answers calculated are reasonable or not. They will also use estimating in everyday or work contexts to estimate time, costs, distances, etc. Learners at Entry 3 will often have more skills than they realise and will build confidence from understanding how valuable a skill using estimating effectively can be.

Equivalent forms

etf:117

From Move on
Curriculum references: N2/E3.2
Context: There are many everyday and work contexts that involve dividing items or quantities into equal parts, and learners can use their life experience and practical examples to help them understand equivalent fractions. They can use equivalent forms to help them to develop their understanding of fractions as a way of describing part of a whole – and so build towards the skills that enable them to relate fractions to percentages.

Budgeting

etf:116

From MOve on
Curriculum references:
MSS1/E3.1 – add and subtract sums of money using decimal notation.

N2/E3.3 – read, write and understand decimals up to two decimal places in practical contexts e.g. £2.37.
N2 /E3.4 – use a calculator to calculate using whole numbers and decimals to solve problems in context, and to check calculations.
