Prepare children for comparing mass using non-standard units with our Year 2 Compare Mass Prior Learning worksheet. This activity recaps using balance scales to compare the mass of two objects. Children will use language such as heavier than, lighter than and equal to to compare mass.

This is the perfect opportunity to assess children's understanding of using balance scales. Following this, move them on to measuring and comparing the mass of objects using non-standard units.
