Fun Measurement in Maths


As part of our Maths measurement activities we have been using scales to weigh things. We had to see how much weight we could could out into a supermarket bag before it broke the handles. We needed to put a very large rock in before it broke!! Other activities were making cuboids and using our multiplication knowledge to find the volume of a box. We also used scales to find the combined weight of our group and had to fill empty containers so they weighed the same as it said on the packet. We are getting very good at reading scales!
