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 volume time (hours, minutes, seconds)

Mathematics Year 2: (2M1) Compare and order lengths, mass, volume/capacity and record the results using >, < and =

Mathematics Year 2: (2M2) Choose and use appropriate standard units to estimate and measure length/height in any direction (m/cm); mass (kg/g); temperature (°C); capacity (litres/ml) to the nearest appropriate unit, using rulers, scales, thermometers and measuring vessels

Differentiation for Year 1 Compare Mass:

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.

Differentiation for Year 2 Measure Mass (kg):
Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support measuring and comparing mass in kg including reading scales (with each unit marked numerically) and estimating mass.
Expected Questions to support measuring and comparing mass in kg including reading scales where counting in 10s and 2s is required and estimating mass.
Greater Depth Questions to support measuring and comparing mass in kg including reading scales where counting in 2s, 5s and 10s is required and estimating mass.

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Problem Solving)
Developing Place objects in a table based on their most reasonable unit of measure. Limited to three objects.
Expected Place objects in a table based on their most reasonable unit of measure. Limited to four objects.
Greater Depth Place objects in a table based on their most reasonable unit of measure. Limited to six objects.

Questions 2, 5 and 8 (Problem Solving)
Developing Use < or > to complete a sentence (kg only).
Expected Use < or > to complete a sentence (kg only).
Greater Depth Use < or > to complete a sentence (kg and g).

Questions 3, 6 and 9 (Reasoning)
Developing Explain the mistake a child has made when working out the weight of an item on a scale. 1 mistake made by misreading the scale (all points numbered).
Expected Explain the mistake a child has made when working out the weight of an item on a scale. 1 mistake made by misreading the scale (scale in tens).
Greater Depth Explain the mistake a child has made when working out the weight of an item on a scale. Mistake could be scale or unit used.
