Name Description
Weighing In

"Grocery shopping offers opportunities for children to increase their estimation and measurement skills by choosing and weighing fruit and vegetables" (from ed.gov parent resources). Kids are estimating the weight of different items and confirm their estimates by weighing afterward. Kids are encouraged to use different units of measurement and compare the number of heavier / lighter items necessary for a certain weight. This is one of seven in a series of activities for practicing math skills at the grocery store.

A-Weigh We Go!

Using different items available at home (e.g., bag of flour, box of detergent) students are estimating, measuring and comparing the weight of these items. They examine if "bigger" also means "heavier" and try to find out how to weigh an object that is too big for a bathroom scale.
