Max Maths, Year 1, Work Book, Measuring mass

In the 'Max Maths, Year 1, Workbook', young learners are introduced to the concept of measuring mass through engaging exercises. Practice 2 focuses on comparing the mass of different objects, fruits, and toys. For instance, students are asked to determine the mass of a mug, a potted plant, and to compare the two by circling whether the potted plant is heavier or lighter than the mug. This activity is designed to help children understand the relative mass of everyday items and to use appropriate vocabulary in describing these comparisons.

Another task involves the mass of various fruits such as a lemon, a mango, and an orange. Students must state what the mass of each fruit is equivalent to and then arrange them in order from lightest to heaviest. Similarly, the mass of different toys—a teddy, a toy rabbit, and a doll—is to be determined. The learners are encouraged to write down the mass and then use the information to identify which toy is heavier or lighter than the teddy, which is the lightest, and which is the heaviest. The workbook also includes a problem-solving section where children need to arrange food items by mass, from lightest to heaviest, further reinforcing their understanding of mass measurement in a practical context.
