Measurement Length and Perimeter - Assessment

The Year 4 assessment on Length and Perimeter offers a variety of questions to test students' understanding of measurement concepts. One of the questions asks students to determine what 680 metres less than 3 kilometres is, requiring them to engage in subtraction and conversion between units of length. Another task involves identifying the perimeter of a shaded rectangle given in different metric units, such as metres and kilometres. Additionally, students are challenged to circle lengths that are more than 500 metres from a set of given distances, enhancing their comparison skills.

Students are also asked to sequence three shapes according to their perimeters, starting with the one with the greatest perimeter. This question involves critical thinking and an understanding of measurement. In a creative exercise, they must draw a rectangle with a specified perimeter of 22 centimetres, applying their knowledge of shapes and perimeters. The assessment includes a self-evaluation section where students rate their confidence in place value, and a scenario where they must agree or disagree with a statement about the perimeters of different shapes, providing an explanation for their answer. Furthermore, they calculate how much further one individual cycles compared to another, and correct a mistake in calculating the width of a rectangle given its perimeter and length, demonstrating problem-solving and correction skills.
