In a Year 2 mathematics lesson from Max Maths, children are learning to measure mass in both grams and kilograms. This particular lesson focuses on understanding and recording the mass of various fruits and vegetables in grams. For instance, the lesson notes that an apple has a mass of 150 grams, which is written as '150 g'. This straightforward representation helps young learners to become familiar with the concept of mass and the units used to measure it.

Similarly, the lesson goes on to describe the mass of other produce: a banana at 200 grams is represented as '200 g', an aubergine at 300 grams as '300 g', and a pumpkin at a heftier 450 grams as '450 g'. These examples are likely accompanied by visual aids that illustrate a scale marked in 50-gram increments, helping children to visualise the weights of the items and to understand the numerical value associated with each mass. By using everyday items like fruit and vegetables, the lesson makes the concept of measuring mass relatable and easier to grasp for young students.
