Achievement objective GM6-2

In a range of meaningful contexts, students will be engaged in thinking mathematically and statistically. They will solve problems and model situations that require them to:

  • apply the relationships between units in the metric system, including the units for measuring different attributes and derived measures.

Indicators

  • Converts between units for the attributes given in the table below. (This includes converting between units for volume (capacity) and mass, and between simple derived units.)
  • Understands the role of prefixes as conversion factors of base units, for example, kilo means one thousand, milli means one thousandth, GB means 10^9 bytes.
  • Uses derived measures to describe rates, for example:
    • speed (kilometres per hour km/h, metres per second m/s)
    • fuel and energy consumption (litres per 100 kilometres L/100km, joules or calories per minute)
    • unit price (cents or dollars per gram)
    • density (kilograms per cubic metre, kg/m3, grams per cubic centimetre g/cm3)
    • More complicated derived measures such as those for pressure, force, and power are not expected at level 6.
  • See key mathematical ideas on NZmaths.
