=**Early Stage One** = ||
 * //**MES1.1: Describes length and distance using everyday language and compares lengths using direct comparison.**//


 * Key ideas:*** Identify and describe the attribute of length.
 * Compare lengths directly by placing objects side-by-side and aligning the ends.
 * Record comparisons informally. ||

=Stage One = ||
 * //**MS1.1: Estimates, measures, compares and records lengths and distances using informal units, metres and centimetres.**//


 * Key ideas:**
 * Use informal units to estimate and measure length and distance by placing informal units end-to-end without gaps or overlay.
 * Recognise the need for metres and centimetres, and use them to estimate and measure length and distance.
 * Record measurements by referring to the number and type of formal or informal units used. ||

=Stage Two = ||
 * //**MS2.1: Estimates, measures, compares and records lengths, distances and perimeters in metres, centimetres and millimetres.**//


 * Key ideas:**
 * Estimate, measure, compare and record lengths and distances using metres, centimetres and/or millimetres.
 * Convert between metres and centimetres, and centimetres and millimetres.
 * Estimate and measure the perimeter of two dimensional shapes.
 * Records lengths and distances using decimal notation to two places. ||

=**Stage Three** = ||
 * //**MS3.1: Selects and uses the appropriate unit and device to measure lengths, distances and perimeters.**//


 * Key ideas:**
 * Select and use the appropriate unit and device to measure lengths, distances and perimeters.
 * Convert between metres and kilometres; millimetres, centimetres and metres.
