Maths

This is the second week of us learning about ‘mass and weight’ and ‘volume and capacity’. We will be doing these at slightly different times over the 2 weeks to allow us to share resources.

Mass and Weight
We will be using the vocabulary heavier, lighter, heaviest and lightest to compare the mass of different objects.
We will also be using balance scales and cubes to measure and compare the mass of objects

Volume and Capacity
We will be using the vocabulary full, empty, half full, nearly full and nearly empty to compare the volume of liquid in containers.

We will then be using cups to measure and compare the capacity of different containers.
