A three-page worksheet that progresses from Y1 comparing language to Y2 scale and thermometer reading. Page 1 builds the heavier/lighter language. Page 2 reads kitchen scales to the nearest standard unit. Page 3 reads a thermometer at three different temperatures. Full answer key.
An interactive balance game. One side has an object with a fixed mass; the child taps from a row of weights (10 g, 50 g, 100 g, 200 g, 500 g) to add them to the other side. The balance tips visually until they match. Five rounds.
A 6-slide picture-led lesson taking children from Y1 comparing language (heavier/lighter) through to Y2 standard units (g, kg, °C) and reading scales and thermometers. Designed for shared reading with an adult.
Vocabulary cards for the Y1–Y2 mass and temperature topics. Each card pairs the word with a clear meaning and an everyday example to anchor it.
Measurement Detective: 5-Page Book is a five-mission Years 1–2 maths activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for measurement. Children compare and describe mass/weight, length/height and capacity, choose standard units (g, kg, cm, m, ml, l), compare measurements using <, > and =, and read simple temperatures in degrees Celsius. Every question is auto-marked on screen, or the whole book can be printed with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
A planning companion mapping every resource to its Y1 or Y2 measurement objective, flagging the specific misconceptions Y2 children show with units and scale-reading, and laying out a 4-lesson scheme using the pack’s resources.
