Guess the Weight: Estimating Mass with Customary Units Clip Cards!

This set of 24 clip cards has been created by an experienced math teacher for students to practice their knowledge and understanding of customary units of measurement for mass. Each clip card shows an object and then three different options for students to decide which weight measurement is best suited. For example, a picture of a car and then three weight options – 2 ounces, 2 pounds and 2 tons. Once students have decided where to put their peg, get them to provide you with an explanation with why they chose that measurement.

How to Use this Resource In the Classroom
