Kindergarten math · Unit 9: Measuring

What can we measure?

What this lesson shows

A bucket is tall, it is heavy, and it holds sand: how long, how heavy, and how much it holds.

The worked example

The lesson works this one step by step: cups, 6 and 1: which is holds more. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.

The steps

  1. How long or tall
  2. How heavy
  3. How much it holds
  4. One thing, many measures

Helping at home

Read each box aloud. Then pick up a cup at home and ask: how tall is it? Is it heavy or light? How much water does it hold?

If your kid gets stuck

Long or tall? Heavy or light? Holds more or less?

Watch it with Lux

With Lux, this lesson is a narrated video and a printed page your kid works on. Then Lux helps with the same math on their own worksheet, one question at a time.
