Build student understanding of connecting quantities by matching numbers in different forms.

Display Matching Numbers on an interactive board.

Click on a card to turn it over. Then click on another card. If the cards match quantities, they will stay face up. If the cards do not match, they will return to being face-down. The game ends when all cards have been matched as the same quantities.

While playing the game, use ‘Talk moves’ and ask students:

How do you know when a card matches?

What can help you recognise the number quickly?

Provide pairs a set of Resource 7: Matching numbers and place cards face down.

Turn over a pair of cards and notice if the 2 quantities match.

If the cards match, the player can have another turn.

Continue to play until all matches have been completed.

This table details assessment opportunities and differentiation ideas.

Ask students to think about a time they helped their family do the grocery shop. Ask:

• Which items were heavy?

• Which items were light?

Display items such as washing powder, a box of tissues, chips, a can of food, bag of sugar, and so on. Ask students:

• Which item is the biggest? How do you know?

• Which item is the smallest? How do you know?

• Which item is the heaviest? How do you know?

• Which item is the lightest? How do you know?

Ask students, what words are used to describe the weight of objects.

Explain that today, students will be investigating the weight of shopping items and ordering them from lightest to heaviest.

Ask students to visualise and record their predictions of weight of shopping items from lightest to heaviest.
