Mass
Why Students Will Love This Lesson
Students will love the Mass lesson because it allows them to explore the concept of weight through engaging, hands-on activities. The mental warm-up, which prompts them to visualize a spider on a hundred square, sparks curiosity and sets the stage for learning about measurement. Throughout the lesson, they will enjoy measuring classroom objects and comparing their weights using non-standard units, making the experience interactive and relatable. The challenge of creating a poster showing items that are heavier or lighter than a kilogram encourages creativity and teamwork, making math fun and exciting.
Sample Questions
Can you find an object in the classroom that you think is heavier than a kilogram? Describe it.
If you have two items that weigh a total of 1.5 kilograms, what could they be?
Estimate how much your lunch bag weighs. Is it heavier or lighter than a kilogram?
Benefits to Teachers
Engaging Content: The lesson promotes active participation and collaboration among students, creating a lively classroom environment.
Focused Learning Objectives: Clear objectives help teachers evaluate student understanding of mass, measurement, and weight.
Real-World Applications: By relating mass to everyday objects, students can connect mathematical concepts to their daily lives.
Skill Development: This lesson enhances students’ estimation skills, encourages accurate measurement using non-standard units, and expands their vocabulary related to mass.
In summary, this Mass lesson equips students with essential measurement skills while making the learning process enjoyable. They will build confidence in comparing weights and understanding mass, which are vital skills for their overall education.

Thinking Hats can be found in schools, businesses and a wide range of industries. I have created a set of resources for Key Stage 2 resources to use with almost any reading book.
The worksheets are not linked to any book or any particular reading scheme and can be used more than once.
These worksheets allow students to examine the same book from 6 different angles and so get a lot more from their reading experiences. These worksheets also provide a real reason to read their books carefully.
I have used Thinking Hats a lot in the classroom and have found them to really motivate students to read more. These worksheets can also be used as a useful homework worksheet resource.
These worksheets are designed to be used time and again with different books.
These are designed to be used in guided reading sessions. Many of the worksheets are designed in such a way that a student can complete them independently. However, to get the maximum out of this book, I would highly recommend these worksheets are used to consolidate the learning taking place in the classroom.
Another use of this set of worksheets is additional homework sheets. I have used these sheets very effectively as a way of checking to see if students have read their book and do fully understand what they have read.
I hope you enjoy this book and that your students are inspired to take a more active, more motivated role in their own learning.

Welcome to the 'Let’s Write in ESL!' pack.
This pack contains a 31 Teaching Activity Teacher Guide using these photo flash cards. These activities are quick and fun to do and will improve both your students' memory and vocabulary skills.
There are lots of ways of using this teaching pack. It could be used as writing assessment for students learning ESL. The students could write about a topic in ESL before starting a unit, and then write again about the topic, using the second worksheet at the end of the topic to see how much they have progressed.
It could also be used as an introduction to guided writing. Students can write sentences as a class and share the sentences together and they can then write them on their own. Alternatively, students could work in pairs - one student dictates to the other what to write down about what they see in the picture.
These pages could also be used to write different stories, using the pictures as a stimulus.
