Measurement teacher instructions

The provided booklet is a comprehensive resource tailored for Year 4 students, focusing on the curriculum objectives related to Measures: Length and Perimeter. For each activity within the booklet, the relevant objectives are clearly outlined at the top of the page, ensuring that teachers can easily align the exercises with their educational goals. Additionally, the booklet is user-friendly, with each activity accompanied by a detailed list of required equipment or resources, and symbols indicating whether the activity is most suitable for the whole class, small groups, or pairs.

Teachers have the flexibility to incorporate these activities into their lessons in various ways, depending on the needs of their class and the stage of learning. Activities can serve different purposes: as a 'START' to warm up and assess prior knowledge, as a 'MAIN' activity to reinforce new concepts, or as an 'END' activity to evaluate students' progress. The activities are designed to complement and enhance the existing educational materials within the school. They are particularly beneficial for children in intervention groups, who may require additional practice. For further support, teachers are encouraged to utilise other suitable resources available on the KS2Gems website, such as target boards, loop cards, and materials focused on rectangles and rectilinear shapes within the Measures: Length and Perimeter area.
