Scales in Kilograms

Worksheet Description

This worksheet features a series of analog scales, each with a different reading, and asks students to interpret the measurement and write it down in kilograms below each scale. The scales are depicted without any numerical values, requiring students to estimate the reading based on the position of the pointer. There are spaces provided beneath each scale for students to record their answers. The worksheet is structured to guide students through the process of reading each scale and expressing the weight in metric units.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to read analog scales and convert the measurements into kilograms, which is a fundamental skill in understanding the metric system of measurement. It enhances their ability to estimate and interpret visual data from an analog device. By writing the weight in kilograms, students also practice the metric system, which is used globally for scientific and standard measurements. The activity further develops their observational skills and numerical accuracy in a practical context.
