You will compare and match measurements and their equivalents. You will be using formal and informal ways of recording mathematical thinking and use these ideas to help you solve mathematical length problems.

We are continuing with our topic of adventure stories on the Oak academy. In this lesson, you are going to explore the features of an adventure story. Remember to pause the video as you go along and complete the activities.
History
Today, your topic work is to watch a documentary about Ancient Egypt. You know a lot about the Egyptians already, but it is always good to refresh our knowledge to make sure that we create long term memory (that means knowledge we won’t forget).
When you are done watching, creating a poster comparing life in Ancient Egypt with life today.
