    • 8.3SS1 Relate the passage of time to common activities, using non-standard and standard units (minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years).

      • 8.3SS1.1 Select and use a nonstandard unit of measure, such as television shows or pendulum swings, to measure the passage of time, and explain the choice.

      • 8.3SS1.2 Identify activities that can or cannot be accomplished in minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years.

      • 8.3SS1.3 Provide personal referents for minutes and hours.

    • 8.3SS2 Relate the number of seconds to a minute, the number of minutes to an hour and the number of days to a month in a problem-solving context.

      • 8.3SS2.1 Determine the number of days in any given month, using a calendar.

      • 8.3SS2.2 Solve a given problem involving the number of seconds in a minute, minutes in an hour or days in a given month.

      • 8.3SS2.3 Create a calendar that includes days of the week, dates and personal events.

    • 8.3SS3 Demonstrate an understanding of measuring length (cm, m) by:

      • 8.3SS3.a selecting and justifying referents for the units cm and m

      • 8.3SS3.b modelling and describing the relationship between the units cm and m

      • 8.3SS3.c estimating length, using referents

      • 8.3SS3.d measuring and recording length, width and height.

      • 8.3SS3.1 Provide a personal referent for one centimetre, and explain the choice.

      • 8.3SS3.2 Estimate the length of an object, using personal referents.

      • 8.3SS3.3 Draw a line segment of a given length, using a ruler.

      • 8.3SS3.4 Sketch a line segment of a given length without using a ruler.

      • 8.3SS3.5 Provide a personal referent for one metre, and explain the choice

      • 8.3SS3.6 Match a given standard unit to a given referent.

      • 8.3SS3.7 Show that 100 cm is equivalent to 1 m by using concrete materials.

      • 8.3SS3.8 Determine and record the length and width of a given 2-D shape.

      • 8.3SS3.9 Determine and record the length, width or height of a given 3-D object.

    • 8.3SS5 Demonstrate an understanding of perimeter of regular and irregular shapes by:

      • 8.3SS5.a estimating perimeter, using referents for cm or m

      • 8.3SS5.b measuring and recording perimeter (cm, m)

      • 8.3SS5.c constructing different shapes for a given perimeter (cm, m) to demonstrate that many shapes are possible for a perimeter.
