At Tutero, students start their journey with engaging activities that use informal units to grasp the basic concepts of length and area. As they progress, our platform introduces interactive lessons using formal units like centimetres and metres, with digital tools that help students visualise and perform conversions. By Year 5, Tutero’s tailored lessons enable students to undertake complex calculations involving perimeter and area, supporting their learning with real-world applications and interactive problem-solving exercises.
Tutero introduces young learners to the concepts of volume, capacity, and mass through hands-on virtual experiments and comparisons using non-standard units. As students advance, they use Tutero’s interactive modules to explore standard units like litres and kilograms and engage in virtual lab activities to measure and estimate capacity and mass. By Year 5, the platform offers sophisticated simulation tasks that challenge students to apply their knowledge in practical scenarios, enhancing their understanding through conversion exercises and multi-step problems.
Starting with the fundamental skills of reading clocks and understanding calendars, Tutero’s lessons evolve to include detailed exercises on time measurement and conversion by Year 3. The interactive lessons allow students to manipulate time in virtual settings, enhancing their understanding of minutes, hours, and days. By Year 5, Tutero provides complex challenges such as calculating time intervals and planning schedules using interactive timetables, preparing students for real-world applications of their time management skills.
