The task for maths was to measure the weight of three things in the classroom using standard forms of measurement. Weight is how heavy something is.
We first wrote down the standard forms of measuring weight and they are: tonnes (T), kilograms (kg) and grams (g). The tools to measure these are scales.
After that we estimated the weight of the three objects we chose. Estimation is an educated guess using your prior knowledge. After estimating we measured the weight with three different scales. We used a balancing scale, a hanging scale and glass scale.
Lastly, we converted the forms of measurement up and down a unit. To convert grams to kilograms you need to divide by 1000 and then divide by 1000 again to get to tonnes.
