Measuring mass and weight
Mathematics · Measurement · procedural
Measure and begin to record mass/weight using non-standard and standard units
What mastery looks like
- Use a balance to compare masses of two objects
- Measure mass using non-standard units (e.g. 'this book weighs 5 cubes')
- Begin to read a simple scale for mass
Check your understanding
If Measuring mass and weight uses balance scales to compare two objects, can they tell you which is heavier — and if given weights like 100g, can they balance an object on the scale?
