    The document describes an activity to teach numerical literacy to pupils. It involves showing pupils two objects, asking which is heavier, and having them discover that a bigger object can be heavier. Then showing two more objects where the bigger object is lighter, so pupils learn mass does not depend on size. The activity then uses a simple balance and various objects like boxes and coins for pupils to directly compare and order objects by mass from lightest to heaviest.

    WAJ31 05 Numerical Literacy

    1. Show

    two objects with a big difference in mass to pupils. Ask the following

    questions:

    o . .

    Look at these two objects. Which one do you think is heavier? Lighter? How could we find out?

    What can you say about the size and mass of the objects?

    [Expected answer: bigger object is heavier than smaller object.]

    2.

    Repeat procedure (a) with another two objects in which the bigger sized

    object is lighter than the smaller sized

    object.

    [Expected answer: The mass of an object does not necessarily depend on its size. A bigger object may not be heavier than a smaller object.l

    Activity 5: Gomparinq Mass bv a Simple Balance


    Children's Learning Outcome:

    . .

    To compare the mass of two object using a simple balance directly' To order objects from lightest to heaviest or vice versa.

    Materials:

    . A cloth hanger; . 2 small boxes; . Thread; . Scissors/pen knife; o Coins of different denominations.
