Get Weighing!!!

This week we have been doing practical weighing activities in class. We've been practising reading scales, estimating, weighing and converting g to kg including using decimals.

If you have kitchen and/or bathroom scales, why not do some fun, practical weighing activities at home?
Choose some objects and even people or animals (!) of different weights.
Estimate the weight, then weigh, reading the scale carefully. How close was your estimate?

For some of them, you could change the weight from g to kg and vice versa. eg 500g=0.5kg
7230g= 7.23kg

You could even do some baking, weighing out the ingredients carefully!

Here are some games to try at home:
