Description

An interactive slideshow for the whole class! A great maths warm-up for a mass lesson. Best played on a TV or other large screen, students will practise their ability to use hefting to test which items are heavier or lighter. Each slide shows a child with 2 common classroom items. Students can grab these items, heft to determine which is lighter/heavier and then bob down/stand up depending on what the slide is asking. Alternatively, students could just guess which they think is heavier/lighter without the hands-on component. Not only does this game give students a brain break and a chance to move their bodies but it also provides the teacher with immediate feedback on each student's understanding of comparing mass.
