Year 1 Measurements - Mass and Weight

In KS1 Maths, mass and weight show how heavy things are. Learn heavier and lighter, then use scales to read grams carefully and compare which object weighs more.

(quiz starts below)

Fascinating Fact:

Mass or weight tells how heavy something is. A pencil might weigh 10 g on the classroom scales.

In KS1 Maths, pupils compare how heavy objects are using words like heavier and lighter. They practise with balance and digital scales, line readings up to zero, and read whole grams to decide which object has the greater mass.

Key Terms

Mass/Weight: How heavy an object is when measured on scales.
Heavier/Lighter: Words used to compare which object has more or less mass.
Gram (g): A small unit used to measure mass in Year 1.

Try a quick warm-up in the Numeracy Game before you start the quiz.
