Year 8 - Measurement and Geometry
Standard 8.MD.1.1 - Find the elapsed time based on a word problem.
Included Skills: Time
Using units of measurement • Choose appropriate units of measurement for area and volume and convert from one unit to another - choosing units for area including mm2, cm2, m2, hectares, km2, and units for volume including mm3, cm3, m3 - recognising that the conversion factors for area units are the squares of those for the corresponding linear units - recognising that the conversion factors for volume units are the cubes of those for the corresponding linear units • Find perimeters and areas of parallelograms, trapeziums, rhombuses and kites - establishing and using formulas for areas such as trapeziums, rhombuses and kites • Investigate the relationship between features of circles such as circumference, area, radius and diameter. Use formulas to solve problems involving circumference and area - investigating the circumference and area of circles with materials or by measuring, to establish an understanding of formulas - investigating the area of circles using a square grid or by rearranging a circle divided into sectors • Develop formulas for volumes of rectangular and triangular prisms and prisms in general. Use formulas to solve problems involving volume - investigating the relationship between volumes of rectangular and triangular prisms • Solve problems involving duration, including using 12- and 24-hour time within a single time zone - identifying regions in Australia and countries in Asia that are in the same time zone
