Learning Intention
To be able to read scaled instruments
Success Criteria –
• I can explain what a scaled instrument is.
• I can read measurements off a number of instruments
Scaled Instruments?
A scaled instrument is something that we use to measure other things.
It has to have an even scale on it so that it doesn’t matter who or where it is
being used it is always the same.
Eg:
These instruments measure different things.
A Watch measures time (seconds, minutes, hours).
A Ruler measures distance (mm, cm, metres).
Kitchen Scales measure the weight of small items (mg, grams).
Bathroom Scales measure the weight of people (grams, kg).
A Jug measures how much liquid there is (ml, Litres).
A Thermometer measure how hot something is (Degrees Celsius 0C).
Length
How Many Millilitres are in the Jug?
Question 1
The shaded
area stops at
the line
between
400mls and
600mls.
So the answer
is 500mls.
What are the answers for the other 7?

Temperature readings
For the top left thermometer the red line
stops at the 5.
This means the temperature is 5 0C
Have a go at reading the other 7

thermometers.
(Make sure you look at the scales they are
not all the same!!)
WEIGHT
Question 1:
The arrow points to the
line between the 2 and 4 so
the answer must be:
3 kg
What weight is shown on

the other 7?
(Pay attention to the
numbers they change)
NOW YOUR TURN
• Write a 3 digit number 4 times
• Now assign the following units to each of your number (cm, mL, oC, g)
• For each one, draw a diagram to represent it

TIME CONVERSIONS
Learning Intention
To understand the units of time and their conversions
• I can identify different units of time.
• I can convert between units of time.
• I can solve problems requiring conversions of time.
Understanding Seconds and Minutes
• 60 seconds in 1 minute
• 60 minutes in 1 hour
Units of Time
Converting between time
Remember Equivalent Fractions?
Converting between time is just like this

We multiplied the minutes
We know that: 60seconds = 1 minute so by 3…. so we multiply the
? seconds = 3 minutes seconds by 3.
60 sec x 3 = 180 seconds
There is 180 secs in 3 mins
Try this problem…
• Calculate how many minutes are in 3.5 hours.
REMEMBER
60 seconds in 1 minute
HINT: Work out how many minutes are in 1 hour first. 60 minutes in 1 hour
Show your working out. You may use a calculator.

Try this problem…
• ‘I can paint 1 fence panel in 10 minutes.
• How many can I paint in 2 hours?’
HINT: Work out how many can be painted in 1 hour first.
Show your working out. You may use a calculator.

Can you determine the time on the following
analogue clock faces?
Can you draw ananalogue clock face for the
following times?
a) 8:10 am
b) 8:45 pm
c) 7:25 pm
d) 11:42 am
e) 9:18 am
f) 6:52 pm
Solving time problem
Learning Intention
Solve Problems Involving Time
• I can apply concepts of time in solving worded problems.
Consider this problem
• I took a train from Cranbourne Train Station at 8:40am and it arrived
at Bendigo station at 11:00am. How long did the train trip take?
Its important we understand what the question is asking first. Let’s highlight important information first
To work out how long it took (duration) we can use a blank number line to help us.
• It took 2 hours and 20 mins

And this one…
• I went and saw the new Marvel movie at the cinema. It went for 2
hours and 45 minutes and finished at 6:20pm. What time did it start?
Its important we understand what the question is asking first. Let’s highlight important information first
And this one…
hours and 45 minutes and finished at 6:20pm. What time did it
start?
To work out how long it took (duration) we can use a blank number line to help us but work it in
reverse.
And this one…
hours and 45 minutes and finished at 6:20pm. What time did it
start?
• It started at 3:35pm
A big mistake people make
• A television show starts at 07:40 and finishes at 09:25. How long is it
on for?
• You cannot do a normal take away sum with time - you get the wrong answer. A number line will
assist though.
9:25
- 7:40 the answer is 1 hour and 45 minutes
1:85 X
Now its your turn
• You are going to tackle some time problems.
• Please read the questions carefully and highlight
important information
• Please use blank number lines to help (you might
need to do this on scrap paper.
Time Problem
Worksheet
12 Hour vs 24 hour time
Learning Intention
I can calculate 12 and 24 hour times
• I can convert between 12 hour and 24 hour times.
PLEASE NOTE:
• This lesson is designed as though you can tell the time.

• Please let your teacher know if you cannot.
TIME 12 & 24 hours
further explained
There are two ways of telling the time:
• The 12-hour clock runs from 1am (so after midnight) to 12 noon (midday) and
then from 1pm (after midday) to 12 midnight.
• The 24-hour clock uses the numbers 00:00 to 23:59 (midnight is 00:00)

WORKSHEET
12vs24HrTime
Interpret and use
timetables
Learning Intention
To be able to use a timetable
• I understand the layout of a timetable.
• I can read and interpret information in a timetable.
What is a Timetable?
A timetable is the schedule for public transportation such as buses, trains
and airplanes. The timetables tell you exactly where the bus, train or airplane
will be and when it will be there.
Cranbourne Station Dandenong Station Springvale Station
6:17 am 6:31 am 6:41 am
6:36 6:50 7:00
6:49 7:03 7:13
7:03 7:17 7:27
7:20 7:34 7:44
7:32 7:46 7:56
This particular timetable is for a train that goes from Cranbourne Station
Reading a Timetable
To read this timetable, you'll look at the times on each line. Each
line, or row, tells you the schedule for one of the trains.
Looking at this schedule vertically, you see that the train runs
every 10 minutes or so. The first train starts at 6:17 am, the second
at 6:31, and the third at 6:41.
It takes about 24 minutes for the train to go from Cranbourne
Station to Springvale Station.
Using a Timetable
To use the timetable, you first figure out what time you need to be
at a certain place. Then you look for the place on the timetable and
find the time that is close to the time you need to be there. If you
need to walk from the train station, you'll need to figure that time in
as well.
Example: Cranbourne Station
6:17 am
Dandenong Station
6:31 am
Springvale Station
6:41 am
6:36 6:50 7:00
6:49 7:03 7:13
7:03 7:17 7:27
7:20 7:34 7:44
7:32 7:46 7:56
For example, say you need to get to a 7:30 am appointment within walking distance of
Dandenong Station. Walking to your meeting place from the station will take you about
five minutes. So you need to find the train that will arrive before 7:25 am.
You look at the timetable and look for the column for Dandenong Station. Then you look
for a time that is before 7:25 am. The closest one you see is the one for 7:17 am. Now, you
change columns to the location where you will be getting on the train, Cranbourne
Station. Staying on the same line, you see that the train that you need to take will leave
Cranbourne Station at 7:03 am. So you need to be at Cranbourne Station by 7:03am.

Measure, calculate and
compare time
Learning Intention
To understand what is meant by the term elapsed time and how to
calculate elapsed time
• I can use a number line to find the length of time between two given
times (elapsed time).
What is Elapsed Time?
• The amount of time that passes between one point in time and another.
• Elapsed time can tell us how long it takes to get somewhere or how long
something lasts.
Watch: YouTube Elapsed Time

• To calculate elapsed time, we need to find the difference between the start
time and end time.
• You may find it easier to break the interval between the two times into smaller
time intervals.
• We can do this using the elapsed time mountain strategy.
Elapsed Time Mountain Strategy
You can calculate elapsed time using a timeline with
mountains, hills and rocks.
Write/draw this into your BOUND REFERENCE book

Sample problem
Greg was dropped off at the movies

at 4:40pm and his mom picked him
up at the theatre at 7:37pm.
How long was Greg at the theatre?
Add this example question into your BOUND REFERENCE book

Step 1:
Draw a timeline listing your start time at the left-hand side and your end-
time at the right-hand side.
Step 2:
Draw mountains, hills, or rocks to show the time elapsed. Write the time
moved inside the drawing. Put the new time where the drawing ends.
Step 3:
Continue until you meet your end time. Add your mountains, hills, and
rocks together and you have your elapsed time!
Answer : Greg was at the theatre for 2 hours and 57 minutes.

You can use the Mountain Strategy when working forward or backwards in time too.
Interactive Clock
You can also use this interactive
clock alongside the mountain
strategy to work out elapsed
time.

LEVEL 8
FROM Melbourne to perth

Learning Intention
Considering time zone in calculating time
• I can apply time zones in calculating time
You’re going on a holiday to Perth in
Western Australia
You are to book return flights from
Melbourne to Perth. You can book
flights between the dates 1st July – 10th
July.
You can book your flights online with

flight centre
You are to create an itinerary to show

departure and arrival times for your
journey (see next slide).
Fill in the table below with your flight details.
Travel route Date of travel Departure time Travel time Arrival time
(elapsed time)

Perth
Perth ->
Melbourne
Elapsed time
Departure time
Arrival time
When selecting your flights what did you notice about the elapsed time?
*Hint* – have a look at the departure and arrival time.

What is the elapsed time between 7:10 and 9:25am? Does it equal 4 hours and 15 minutes as the
ticket suggests? Make sure you refer to YOUR flight tickets.
Make sure you use the Mountain Strategy from the previous lesson to help work out the elapsed
time.
Answer the following questions:
1. What is the time difference between the two cities? Provide an example.
(*HINT* Google: ‘time difference between Melbourne and Perth’)
2. Is the time in Perth ahead or behind Melbourne?
3. What is the best time to call your family when you arrive in Perth?
EXTENSION:
Now that we have established that there are different time zones, your task is to
calculate the elapsed time for each international flight on slide number 14.
To work out the time difference between cities you will need to access this site
www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ .
To find the elapsed time you will need to change the departure time into the time at
arrival location or change the arrival time into the time at the point of departure.
You may want to use google maps to search the location of the cities.
Go to slide number 8 to 13 for a step by step example.

Example:
I need to calculate the elapsed time between our departure from Melbourne and
our arrival in London.
Travel route Time Departure Travel time Arrival time

Example:
Step 1: I need to find out the time difference between Melbourne and London.
Step 2: I go to the world clock website www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ .
Step 3: I search Melbourne in the search bar and click enter
Step 4: I am now be able to see the date and time in Melbourne. I scroll down to bottom of the
page and click ‘Time Zone Converter for Melbourne’.
Step 5: I then click add another city and add London
Step 6: Now I need to work out the time difference between Melbourne and London. What is the elapsed
time between 3am and 12pm?
I will be using the Mountain Strategy here.
The time difference between Melbourne and London is 9 hours.
Add 9 hours to the ‘Time Difference’ column on the table.

time)
Melbourne -> 9 hours Wed Oct 14 Wed Oct 14

London 6:15 am 6:40 pm
Now to calculate the travel time….

Step 7 – We now need to calculate the travel time between Melbourne and London. To
do this we need to convert departure time into the time at the arrival location.
Step 8: Departure from Melbourne is Wed Oct 14 at 6:15am. London is 9 hours behind,
therefore, I need to minus 9 hours from 6:15am.
I will use the Mountain Strategy here.
Therefore the departure time is converted to Tues Oct 13th at 9:15pm.
Step 9: I need to now work out the elapsed time between Tues Oct 13 th at 9:15pm and
Wed Oct 14th at 6:40pm. To work this out I will use the Mountain Strategy.
The travel time between Melbourne and London is 21 hours and 25 minutes.

Units of Measurement
Learning Intention
I can choose a choose appropriate units of measurement for: Length,
Area, Volume, Capacity and Mass
• I can measure.
• I can start my ruler on 0 (zero)
• I can choose the right measurement
A measurement of distance. We can measure how long things are,
or how tall, or how far apart they are. Those are all examples of
length measurements.
These are the most common measurements:

 millimetres (mm) – e.g paper clip
 centimetres (cm) – e.g exercise book
Length  meters (m) – e.g basketball court
 kilometres (km) – distance travelled in a car
Task 1: You will measure items around your house. Fill in the table. What measurement will you use for the item, guess the size,
measure and record the actual measurement.
You will need:
• A ruler
• A tape measure
• If you do not have either, get your shoe! Click here to see a shoe conversion to cm. Use the show to measure the items
The measurement of the surface of an area is defined in square
units. The area is the number of squares that fit inside the region.
The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is length x
width.
 cm2 – e.g surface area of a book
Area  m2 – e.g back yard
 km2 – e.g farm paddock
Task 2. List two things that you would measure area in:
The capacity is the measurement of how much something will hold. It is also the
volume of an object.
 Volume is the amount of space an object occupies.
Capacity is the amount a container can hold. Frequently, the terms are used
interchangeably.
 A brick has a volume because it takes up space, it
Volume and doesn't have capacity. A cup has volume because it

takes up space and it also has a capacity because it can
Capacity hold a certain amount.

These are the most common measurements for capacity:
 millilitres (mL) – e.g (liquid medicine)
 litres (L) – e.g (milk)
The formula for determining the volume is length x width x height

 cm3 millilitres and litres in:
Task 3. List two things that you would measure
Mass: how much matter is in an object.
We measure mass by weighing, but weight and mass are not
really the same thing.
Mass  grams (g) – e.g cooking flour

 kilograms (Kg) – e.g humans
 tonnes (T) – e.g truck
Grams are the smallest, Tonnes are the biggest.
Task 4. List two things that you would measure grams, kilograms and tonnes in:

Area of rectangles
Learning Intention
To be able to calculate the Area of a Rectangle
• I can use the formulas given to me to correctly find the measurement
of the shape
DEFINITION OF AREA:
A = sum of unit squares

Area is a count of how many unit squares fit inside a figure. To fully understand this classic
definition of area, we need to picture the unit square. A unit square is a square that is one unit
long by one unit wide. It can be 1 x 1 , 1 m x 1 m, 1 cm x 1 cm ...
Unit Square
Finding the area of a rectangle
FORMULA: A= l x w (Length x Width)
A rectangle is an equiangular quadrilateral. Opposite sides are congruent and parallel. All
internal angles are right angles.
Rectangle
WRITE THIS IN Let's look at a rectangle that is 4 mm by 6 mm. If we count the number of 1 mm by 1 mm
YOUR BOUND squares that are inside the rectangle we can easily see there are 24 of these squares. After
REFERENCE BOOK performing the same task with a rectangle that has different dimensions, we can see a
pattern.
The total number of squares that rest within a rectangle can be found by multiplying the
length of a rectangle by its width. So, 4mm x 6mm = 24 mm2, hence the formula A = lw.
Counting square units fits nicely with the concept of counting squares and it also coincides
with a property of algebra. In algebra, we already know (x)(x) = x2. The same is true for mm
times mm, or any unit times the same unit.
Example:
WRITE THIS IN YOUR
BOUND REFERENCE
Example 1: If l = 20 metres and w = 5 metres, then the area would be... BOOK!
A=lxw
A = (20 m) x (5 m)
A = 100 m2

Learning Intention
To able to calculate Volumes
• I am able to use the Volume Formula to find the Volume of
Rectangular and Square Prisms
• Cuboids, Rectangular prisms and Cubes
The formula for finding the volume:
In short it is represented as, V= l x w x h

Look at an example below along with the units:
As the unit of all the sides (length, width and height) is in metres here, multiplying metres three times (m x m x m)
will make the unit m3.
Click on the following video now:
Calculate the volume (Try using the formula to find the volume
below)
Volume of a cube:
Since all the sides of the cube are of the same length, its volume can be found by using V = L x L x L or say L 3
In the above case the side is “a”, therefore, V = a x a x a or a 3

Calculate the volume: Identify c) and d) as rectangular or square prism and
find their volume using appropriate formula:
Let’s apply our understanding for solving a worded question:
Now, write this down in your bound reference book

number of cubes in 1 layer and then multiplying it with the number
of layers:
Try working it out yourself first

Now, check your answer:
• Number of cubes in 1 layer = 12
• Number of layers= 3
• Volume= 12 x 3= 36 cubic units
