Description

How do we measure, map, and move through the world around us? From understanding distances on a map to calculating the volume of a storage box, this course will help you develop essential skills in measurement and geometry, giving you the tools to interpret and navigate the spaces we live in.

Note: Levels 4 and 5 are intended to be two-year programmes.

This class is designed to support your learning in a way that works for you. Through hands-on exploration, problem-solving, and real-world applications, you’ll build confidence in measurement, shape, and spatial reasoning.

Here’s what we’ll explore together:

  • Measurement Mastery: Learn to use scales, devices, and metric units to measure length, area, volume, weight, temperature, angles, and time.
  • Metric Conversions: Convert between common metric units with ease.
  • Perimeter, Area, and Volume: Calculate the size of rectangles, triangles, and cuboids to solve practical problems.
  • Timetables and Scales: Interpret travel timetables, charts, and maps to make informed decisions.
  • Shape: Identify key properties of 2D and 3D shapes and understand their relationships.
  • Location and Navigation: Use compass directions, distances, and grid references to describe positions and movement.
  • Transformations: Explore reflections, rotations, translations, and enlargements, and understand how objects change while maintaining key properties.

This course is more than just maths—it’s about developing problem-solving skills and a deeper understanding of the world around you. Bring a calculator, pen, paper, and a curious mind, and get ready to explore the fascinating world of measurement and geometry!
