In the Boxes

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is comprised of a series of images arranged in pairs, each set displaying objects of varying weights. Students are instructed to circle the object that they perceive to be heavier within each pair. The objects range from furniture and household items to groceries and personal accessories, such as a table and a plate, a shopping cart and a shopping basket, a basket of fruit and a tomato, and so on. The layout is simple and clear, with ample space provided for students to make their selections.

The purpose of this worksheet is to teach students about the concept of weight and to help them differentiate between heavy and light objects. It encourages students to visually assess and compare the mass of various items that they may encounter in everyday life. By providing a direct comparison between two objects, it challenges students to use critical thinking to determine which object weighs more. This activity not only aids in developing cognitive skills related to comparison and categorization but also helps students build vocabulary related to the physical property of weight.
