Illustrative Mathematics: How Heavy
Learners will have fun learning about weights with this hands-on activity. Students will use a balance scale to compare the weights of two different objects. Recording sheets are provided.
Illustrative Mathematics
Illustrative Mathematics: Which Weighs More? Which Weighs Less?
Students will use a block to compare with other objects to decide which is heavier/lighter. They will fill in a chart by drawing a picture of it under "Heavier" or "Lighter" depending which applies.

Students will learn about height and comparable language with this task that will get your class moving around!
Illustrative Mathematics
Illustrative Mathematics: Which Is Heavier?
Students will learn the concept of weight by practicing weighing items on a balance scale and recording their results. Students can record their answers on the black line masters included in the Illustrated Mathematics lesson "How Heavy?".
Illustrative Mathematics
Illustrative Mathematics: Which Is Longer?
Students are introduced to the concept of length with this hands-on activity. Each student will choose two objects to compare by laying them next to each other and comparing which is longer. Students will record and discuss their findings.
