Max Maths, Year 3, Learn together, Review of measuring mass in grams and kilograms (2)

In this segment of a Year 3 maths lesson from Max Maths, students review the concept of measuring mass in grams and kilograms. The lesson is designed to help children understand and visualise the difference between objects that weigh less than a kilogram and those that weigh more. For example, everyday items like a mobile phone and a teddy bear are used to illustrate objects with a mass of less than 1 kilogram, making the concept relatable and easier to grasp for the young learners.

To further reinforce the understanding of mass, the lesson presents objects with a mass greater than 1 kilogram. A laptop, a pumpkin, and a car are given as examples of heavier items, showing the students a clear contrast in weight categories. This hands-on approach with familiar items helps the children to better understand and remember the difference between lighter and heavier masses, laying a solid foundation for their knowledge of measurement and mass in real-world contexts.
