Chapters Topics
Scales on the measuring instruments are read correctly.
Accurately interpret values from instruments such as rulers, measuring tapes, thermometers, or weighing scales.
Quantities are estimated to a tolerance justified in the context of the need.
Make reasonable approximations for length, mass, or time, and explain their suitability in real-world contexts.
The appropriate instrument is chosen to measure a particular quantity.
Select tools such as a scale, ruler, thermometer, or measuring jug that best suit the type and scale of the quantity being measured.
Quantities are measured correctly to within the least step of the instrument.
Record accurate measurements based on the instrument's smallest unit (e.g., mm, ml, g).
Appropriate formulae are selected and used.
Use formulas such as area = length × breadth or volume = base × height to solve practical problems.
Calculations are carried out correctly and the least steps of instruments used are taken into account when reporting final values.
Perform calculations with attention to measurement precision and correct rounding.
Symbols and units are used in accordance with SI conventions and as appropriate to the situation.
Apply units such as m, kg, s, and ensure proper use of symbols in reporting answers.
