This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to identify and model how to use and read a scale to find the mass of different toys and games using measurements recorded in grams and kilograms.

The class can estimate and compare the mass of objects that they have measured in grams and kilograms on a set of scales correctly using symbols and the correct vocabulary words.

Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to identify and model how to use and read a scale to find the mass of different toys and games using measurements recorded in grams and kilograms

Activities in this teaching pack include a set of differentiated worksheets to practise working with and reading a scale to record the mass of different objects for measurements in grams and kilograms which can then be compared using symbols and vocabulary words.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to use and read a scale to record the mass of different toys and games in grams and kilograms.

This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to solve problems by measuring, estimating, comparing and calculating the mass of different objects using standard measurement units. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
