recognise ways of measuring and approximating the perimeter and area of shapes and enclosed spaces, using appropriate formal and informal units
solve practical problems involving the perimeter and area of regular and irregular shapes using appropriate metric units
choose appropriate metric units when measuring the length, mass and capacity of objects; use smaller units or a combination of units to obtain a more accurate measure
