📚 Part 1: Quick Choice

WALT: Record weight comparisons using pictures and number sentences.

Success criteria: I can choose which item is heavier or lighter, and say when two items weigh the same.

1. Which item is heaviest?

A bag of flour — 1 kg

A book — 500 g

An apple — 150 g

2. A pencil is 10 g and an eraser is 10 g. Which is true?

The pencil is heavier

They are the same weight

The eraser is heavier

3. Select all items that weigh more than 200 g:

Banana — 120 g

Orange — 250 g

Sandwich — 300 g

Marble — 50 g

4. True or false: 1000 g = 1 kg

True

False

✏️ Part 2: Record and Explain

5. Create a simple pictorial chart for these measured items. Use one picture for each item. Colour-code: heavier (red), lighter (blue), same (green).

Items: Block A — 300 g; Block B — 300 g; Ball — 150 g; Toy car — 150 g.

6. Write two number sentences that compare the groups above (use >, < or = ).

7. Extension: If you add one more block (300 g) to the blocks, how many grams do the blocks weigh altogether? Show your working and answer.

8. Reflection: In one sentence tell a friend which item is heavier and use the words 'heavier', 'lighter' or 'same as'.

Differentiation: Use the pictorial chart to colour or stamp instead of writing if you need support. For advanced learners, make a short story problem using the chart and solve it.

Dyslexia-friendly tip: Try highlighting the numbers and symbols (>, <, =) in a different colour to help read number sentences more easily.
