ring measurement to life with The Dinosaur Museum, a rich, inquiry-based maths investigation where students become museum consultants designing a dinosaur exhibition.

Using these ready-to-teach lesson slides, students estimate and measure dinosaur lengths, interpret and create data displays, design a scaled museum floor plan, and calculate area and perimeter in meaningful, real-world contexts.

This slide deck is designed to support explicit teaching, mathematical reasoning, and student reflection, making it ideal for whole-class instruction across multiple lessons.

What’s Included:

✔️ 21 editable teaching slides (Google Slides / PowerPoint compatible)
✔️ Clear learning sequence structure (Length → Data → Planning → Area → Perimeter)
✔️ Visual worked examples for:

• Estimating and measuring length
• Creating and interpreting data tables/graphs
• Planning a scaled museum exhibit
• Calculating area (timber flooring)
• Calculating perimeter (barrier rope)

✔️ Built-in learning journal sentence stems
✔️ Gallery walk prompts and reflection questions
✔️ Final museum design reflection and class discussion prompts

Maths Concepts Covered:

• Estimating and measuring length (metres)
• Data representation and interpretation
• Spatial planning and scaled layouts
• Area (square metres)
• Perimeter (metres)
• Mathematical reasoning and justification

How You Might Use These Slides:

• As the core teaching component of a multi-lesson investigation
• Alongside a student booklet or workbook
• For modelling strategies before independent or group tasks
• As a rich assessment and discussion stimulus
