Year 3: measuring mass in grams g and kilograms kg

This week we have been learning about measuring mass in grams g and kilograms kg. We know how to read a scale and work out what intervals it goes up in, and we can draw a number line to help us work it out if we need to.

Do you have any scales at home that you could put different items on and read how much their mass is? Are they in kg or g?

We used our maths skills of reading kilograms and grams on scales and measuring millilitres and litres when we made our healthy cakes on the Wednesday 🧁 Great work everyone!
