Max Maths, Year 2, Learn together, Measuring mass in grams and in kilograms (5)
Maths Resource Description
In a Year 2 maths lesson from Max Maths, young learners are encouraged to explore the concept of measuring mass through practical examples. The students are presented with various items and are tasked with making educated guesses about their mass. They must consider which of the items has a mass greater than 1 kilogram and which weighs less than 1 kilogram. This exercise not only introduces the students to the units of grams and kilograms but also helps them develop an intuitive understanding of weight and estimation.
The activity is designed to be interactive and engaging, prompting the children to think critically about everyday objects in relation to their mass. It's an opportunity for hands-on learning where students can visually assess the items labelled A, B, C, and D, and apply their knowledge of measurement. This approach to teaching measurement is fundamental in building a strong foundation for mathematical concepts related to mass, encouraging the children to 'Learn together' and support each other's learning journey in a collaborative classroom environment.
