A sweet pal lent me a food scale so Big Sis could complete her chapter about weight in her math book. One day it discussed kilograms, another day was grams, then another was pounds and ounces.
Really, they simply learned how to read the food labels to see how much something weighs. They also learned how to weigh the object on the scale tp see if the label was accurate. I think they may have tucked away the fact that a kilogram is heavier than a pound ... not positive though.
Of course, they had fun while weighing all sorts of things. Big Sis weighed our pumpkins to see if we got a great deal by paying $1/pumpkin from someone's yard vs. .29 cents/pumpkin at the local p. patch. And I keep trying to remind myself, that it's not about the numbers or facts they can spout off, it's about learning to love learning!
