This worksheet looks at metric units of weight for mass- the kilogram and gram. Students are introduced to everyday objects with common weights, which they then use to identify the weight of various objects. Students then explore items within the classroom that weigh more and less than 1kg.
Measure and compare objects using familiar metric units of length, mass and capacity, and instruments with labelled markings
Identify which metric units are used to measure everyday items; use measurements of familiar items and known units to make estimates
Measure, order and compare objects using familiar metric units of length, mass and capacity
Measure, order and compare objects using familiar metric units of length, area, mass and capacity
Uses appropriate terminology to describe, and symbols to represent, mathematical ideas
Selects and uses appropriate mental or written strategies, or technology, to solve problems
Checks the accuracy of a statement and explains the reasoning used
Measures, records, compares and estimates lengths, distances and perimeters in metres, centimetres and millimetres, and measures, compares and records temperatures
Measures, records, compares and estimates volumes and capacities using litres, millilitres and cubic centimetres
Measures, records, compares and estimates the masses of objects using kilograms and grams
Represents and compares halves, quarters, thirds and fifths as lengths on a number line and their related fractions formed by halving (eighths, sixths and tenths)
Uses grid maps and directional language to locate positions and follow routes
Measures and estimates lengths in metres, centimetres and millimetres
Identifies angles and classifies them by comparing to a right angle
Compares two-dimensional shapes and describes their features
Performs transformations by combining and splitting two-dimensional shapes
Estimates, measures and compares areas using square centimetres and square metres
Makes and sketches models and nets of three-dimensional objects including prisms and pyramids
Estimates, measures and compares capacities (internal volumes) using litres, millilitres and volumes using cubic centimetres
Estimates, measures and compares the masses of objects using kilograms and grams
