Light or Heavy?

Learning Goals: Math Skills, Measurement, Estimation, Properties

    • Have students sit in a circle and pass around an object to determine whether each object is light or heavy.
    • Encourage your students to compare different objects and explain their thinking. 
    • As an extension: Bring a scale and have students measure out the objects after everyone has had a turn to estimate.
    • Feel free to implement this activity as a whole class or in small groups.

We are the Play Learning Lab, run by Dr. Angela Pyle at the Dr. Eric Jackman Institute of Child Study of the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education/University of Toronto.
