Estimating Lengths

估算长度

Description

Estimate lengths using units of inches, feet, centimetres, and metres

Mastery Evidence
  • Estimate the length of a classroom object before measuring it
  • Use a known reference (e.g. width of a finger ≈ 1 cm) to make reasonable estimates
  • Check estimates by measuring and evaluate how close they were
Assessment Prompt

If your child looks at a car parked outside, can they estimate roughly how many metres long it is — and then check whether their guess was reasonable?
