Unit J – Mass Measurements
This maths scheme of work for Key Stage Two gets the children to solve a range of problems by measuring, estimating, comparing and calculating the mass of different objects using standard measurement units. The class can practise using a range of scales to record measurements taken in grams and kilograms.
