National Curriculum Objectives

Mathematics Year 1: (1M1) Compare, describe and solve practical problems for:
lengths and heights [for example, long/short, longer/shorter, tall/short, double/half]mass/weight [for example, heavy/light, heavier than, lighter than]
capacity and volume [for example, full/empty, more than, less than, half, half full, quarter]
Time [for example, quicker, slower, earlier, later]

Mathematics Year 1: (1M2) Measure and begin to record: lengths and heights mass/weight capacity and volumetime (hours, minutes, seconds)

Differentiation:

Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support comparing the mass of two objects measured using one type of non-standard unit where scales are balanced, or units of measure are equal.
Expected Questions to support comparing the mass of two objects measured using various non-standard units where scales are imbalanced and units of measure are unequal.
Greater Depth Questions to support comparing the mass of two objects measured using various non-standard units where the mass of an object is sometimes doubled or halved to find an answer.

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Problem Solving)
Developing Choose from two options when comparing the mass of two objects; using number bonds to ten and one type of non-standard unit. Includes images in the statements.
Expected Choose from three options when comparing the mass of two objects; using addition and subtraction within 20 and various non-standard units. Statements in words only.
Greater Depth Choose from three options when comparing the mass of two objects; using various non-standard units. Not all weights given explicitly, requiring half and double knowledge.

Questions 2, 5 and 8 (Reasoning)
Developing Explain how many more is needed to balance scales when comparing the mass of two objects, no more than 5 more or 5 less.
Expected Explain how to balance the scales when comparing the mass of two objects; using a given number of units.
Greater Depth Explain what is needed to balance the scales when comparing the mass of two objects; using various non-standard units where the weight of an object is sometimes doubled or halved.

Questions 3, 6 and 9 (Problem Solving)
Developing Arrange objects to balance using one type of non-standard unit; where two out of three objects are equal.
Expected Arrange objects to balance using various non-standard units; where more than one object may be needed.
Greater Depth Arrange objects to balance using various non-standard units; combinations of objects are needed to find the answer. Not all masses given explicitly.
