Outcomes and Indicators
 * < **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:**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Select and use the appropriate unit and device to measure lengths, distances and perimeters.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Convert between metres and kilometres; millimetres, centimetres and metres.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Calculate and compare perimeters of squrares, rectangles and equilateral and isosceles triangles.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Record and measure lengths and distances using decimal notation to three places ||

The child then needs to select one of the options specified which corresponds to the correct length of the animal. The animals selected to be measured get harder or easier based on the amount of time the child takes to solve each question. ||
