Measuring Weight Kit
Description / Measuring Weight Kit
The Measuring Weight Kit is ideal for introducing students to a variety of units and measuring tools, with which they can practise learning new concepts or test understanding.
Using different scales
This kit allows you to introduce children to a great variety of weighing methods, from standard digital scales to the less frequently seen spring scales. The stacking weights are perfect to use alongside these, especially the bucket balance – with which they can explore comparative weights.
Stacking weights
Stacking weights can be applied to a wide variety of activities to help children gain an understanding of the relative weights, using language like ‘lighter than’ or ‘heavier than’ when comparing pieces. All are colour coded for easy sorting. Increments 1g, 5g, 10g, 20g, 100g, 500g, and 1kg are provided. The kit is stored neatly in a Jumbo Gratnells Tray with lid, perfect for keeping your classroom clean and tidy. The tray is made from solid plastic and guaranteed to endure the test of time.
