    Comparing Mass

    20 January 2023 (by admin)

    This week in our maths learning we have been using the language of heavier and lighter to compare two objects.

    First we used our hands as a human balance. We then used the balance scales to check our estimations. We used our maths talk to explain our findings:
    ‘The block is heavier than the car and the car is lighter than the block!’

    We were amazing Solveadactyls, using non - standard measures to see how many cubes ‘balanced’ our object. We found out that bigger items are not always heavier!
