Which is heaviest? B

This resource has been designed to support teaching and consolidate understanding of comparing heaviest and lightest objects using informal measurement.

Learning goals

  • We are learning to compare objects and events based on length, mass, capacity and duration using comparative language, such as short, wide, long, high.
  • We are learning to compare objects using mass, length and capacity, e.g. heavier, lighter.
  • We are learning to compare and order objects and events using length, mass, capacity and duration using comparative language, e.g. lightest, light, heavier, heaviest.
  • We are learning to measure the length of shapes and objects using informal units, recognising that units need to be uniform and used end-to-end.
  • We are learning to order objects based on lengths and capacities.
