Tui class used balance scales, spring scales, bathroom scales and kitchen scales to weigh various things and learn how much a kilogram weighs. We pushed and pulled large containers to see which was heavier. We hung objects from a bulldog clip and elastic to see how far it stretched compared to other things. By the end of the unit we were getting much better at estimating and ordering weights up to around a kilogram.
Measuring Time in mathematics has been a blast. We have learned how to read some analogue and digital times. We began adding hours and half hours onto these times too. At the end of the unit we showed our learning in a fun way, by making outdoor clocks and placing wooden hands into the correct places to make the said times.
