Overview:
A set of word problems designed to help students apply their understanding of weight and scaling in real-world contexts. Designed for year 4 and 5 students.
Learning Objectives:
- Use multiplication and division to solve weight-related problems.
- Apply proportional reasoning to calculate different quantities.
- Develop problem-solving skills through practical measurement scenarios.
How the Activity Works:
Students work through a variety of weight-based word problems that require them to apply their knowledge of grams and kilograms. For example: Wade knows he needs 60 grams of butter to make 12 cupcakes. If he wants to make 36 cupcakes, how many grams of butter will he need? The problems involve different operations, including scaling amounts up or down, reinforcing key numeracy skills in a meaningful context.
