Year 1 Term 2-1 Week 02 Day 5 investigating how many ways we can use kg weights to make 10kg

A differentiated starter, introduction for both ActivInspire and Smartboard, and 3 way differentiated activity with an extension activity for use in Continuous Provision and AFL / Next Steps plenary class activity supported by a youtube video of the complete lesson for distance learning…

Learning Objective: To estimate mass and then check using balance scales

This lesson consists of:

• A differentiated starter – where children solve a series of addition sums using a range of mathematical equipment.

• An Interactive Whiteboard teaching introduction for both Notebook and ActivInspire flipchart demonstrating how a simulation of an analogue kitchen scales can be used to identify sets of weights that are the same as 10kg.

• A youtube video link for distance learning introducing the starter, the main part of the lesson and the AFL / Next Steps plenary.

• A set of cut out weights to help simulate finding how many 1kg, 2kg and 5kg weights can been combined together to make 10kg, with a link to an online resource to allow the children to check their findings. .

• A final AFL / Next Steps task which challenges the children to consider how they could build on their learning to find weights that make 100kg.
