Level 3-4 Shapes - Measuring Mass
In your KS3 Maths lessons on shapes, you'll get to do some cool measurements! You're already familiar with measuring areas, distances (like width or length), and volumes or capacities. Now, let's talk about measuring weight or mass.
Technically, 'weight' and 'mass' have differences, but for everyday use, they're pretty much the same. In maths, we measure both in grams (g), kilograms (kg), and tonnes. Easy tip: 1,000 grams make a kilogram, and 1,000 kilograms make a tonne.
