Mass, Capacity, Temperature - Assessment

The Year 2 assessment on Mass, Capacity, and Temperature is a comprehensive evaluation of a student's understanding of basic measurement concepts. The assessment begins with a practical question where students calculate the mass of three muffins, given that one muffin weighs 100 grams. This is followed by comparative exercises where students identify which object is lighter and which is heavier. Additionally, they are tasked with matching images to the most appropriate unit of measure, such as kilograms, grams, millilitres, or centimetres, reinforcing their knowledge of when to use each unit.

The assessment continues with sentence completion tasks that require students to apply their knowledge of mass and capacity. For example, they must determine how many muffins would weigh 900 grams and calculate the new weight of Zach's box after additional items are added. The temperature section of the assessment challenges students to recall the previous day's temperature and adjust a thermometer to reflect a temperature that is 10 degrees warmer. They are also asked to solve problems involving the capacity of bottles and glasses, such as how many glasses are needed to fill a bottle. The exercise concludes with a self-assessment where students can circle how confident they feel about the topics covered, ranging from 'Not confident' to 'Very confident'.
