Mass Unit Conversion

Communication can be easily created through this activity by asking "How much is x(kg) to gram, or which one is heavier x(kg) or y(g)?".

By converting from different measurements, children can comprehend more on this specific topic and life as going to the supermarket they would know that 500g is less than 1kg as 1kg = 1000g. The more they understand, the more they will be engaged/interested which will boost their comprehension.

Based on the worksheet, activities, and games can be created between individuals or team-up (parents - children; group of parents - group of children; children - children) such as putting 2 objects on different scales (measured by kilogram and gram) and giving question as which one is heavier, or are they the same, etc. Interaction with other people on the topic can help children feel less stressed doing the homework, and be more interested in the topic as "I used to do this with mom and dad", "This is easy", etc. 

This worksheet encourages students to problem-solve. And, students can have numerous ways to find out the solution/answers that adults did not think of. Therefore, parents should encourage them by praising, encourage them. Furthermore, parents could also ask them about what are the other solutions they can think of to solve the problems. This could make them feel proud of themselves and stimulate their creativity.  

In this worksheet, students should find solutions to solve the problems by using critical thinking. For example, the triple beam is shown there and the students are asked to write down the correct mass that is shown on the beam. Students now should find the solution, whether to add, minus, or multiply the number and decide which one is correct.
