Monster Mass is a fun board game that your students will love! The game encourages your students to use informal units to compare the mass of different objects using the terms ‘heavier’, ‘lighter’ and ‘equal’ as they race to the finish line.
Compare directly and indirectly and order objects and events using attributes of length, mass, capacity and duration, communicating reasoning
Measure and compare the lengths and capacities of pairs of objects using uniform informal units
Describes mathematical situations and methods using everyday and some mathematical language, actions, materials, diagrams and symbols
Supports conclusions by explaining or demonstrating how answers were obtained
Measures, records, compares and estimates lengths and distances using uniform informal units, metres and centimetres
Measures, records, compares and estimates volumes and capacities using uniform informal units
Measures, records, compares and estimates the masses of objects using uniform informal units
Measures, records, compares and estimates internal volumes (capacities) and volumes using uniform informal units
Measures, records, compares and estimates lengths and distances using uniform informal units, as well as metres and centimetres
Describes, compares and orders durations of events, and reads half- and quarter-hour time
Measure and compare the lengths, masses and capacities of pairs of objects using uniform informal units
Students can order some or all of the cards in order from the object with the lightest to heaviest mass.
