No…no.
Don’t worry I’m not trying to find out what you weigh…
Just how you teach weight in your classroom.
I do a lot more weight and measurement in the beginning of school with apples and pumpkins…
Then I measure the kids height three different times in the school year…
But I realize that I neglected to have a consistent weight activity at my math centers.
I know Measurement and Data is a skill throughout most grade levels using the Common Core. I wanted something that the kids could do without my help…but still gather a strong concept of weight mostly the idea of lighter or heavier. I also wanted my kids to start making educated guesses about weight.
SO…last weekend I created these Weight Task Cards to use at my Measurement and Data center.
The kiddos and I had a conversation about the balance. Many kiddos mentioned that they have seen a balance in the grocery store…but never had used one themselves. They were so excited to get a chance to weigh things on their own.
Here are few pics of my kids in action.
The kids had so much fun.
I’m so happy with these task cards. I can’t wait to create more.
Oh Vera, I have missed your posts. Great photos and a super reminder of 'hands on'.
Have a lovely weekend.
