We have been using the scales to identify heavy and light.
We used random items the children collected in the classroom, made our own predictions and then weighed them on the scales.
We then looked at various numbers and discussed if we thought that amount of items would weigh more or less in comparison to the other number. The children were amazing at identifying the greater and smaller numbers. We then counted out the correct amount of items (or numicon) and weighed them to see if we were right.
Amazing predictions and weighing 🌟
