Maths Home Learning Week Beginning 6th July
Maths Introduction
This week in maths we will be revising our measuring skills and looking weight
and capacity.
All of the lessons we are planning link in with our “White Rose” scheme of
learning and BBC bitesize lessons for July. We have done this so that you can
go to the links below for further help and advice.
Summer Term - Week 10 (w/c 29th June) Lesson 1 to Lesson 4 (really useful
videos on there!) https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-2/
You can play a game Play the measurements level of Karate Cats Maths https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zjkphbk/articles/zf4sscw
Monday 6th July Lesson 1
LO. To measure mass in grams
In Year 2, the children use standard units of mass (grams) for the first time.
They continue to use balance scales before moving on to use standard weighing
scales. Children apply their counting in 2s, 5s and 10s skills to reading scales
accurately. Have a watch of some of these videos to start off your learning

If you have some weighing scales at home you could estimate and weigh
different household items such as tin of beans, mobile phone, a banana, the
remote control! The children could firstly estimate how many grams they think
the object may weigh and then they could measure it to check. You could use
this template to input out your results.
Object: Estimate: Actual:
Now hopefully we have a better idea of how many grams objects weigh.
Now let’s have a look at reading these scales. Check what the scale is going up first and
then see where the arrow is pointing.
Tuesday 7th July – Maths lesson 2
LO. Measure mass in kilograms
Today we’re looking at when we measure objects in kilograms.
Have a look at the balancing scale, add the total weight in kg’s. Watch this
vimeo video to help with your tasks today. https://vimeo.com/432483645
When we want to measure the mass of an object that weighs more than 1000
grams we use kilograms. Kilograms are shortened to ‘kg’.
1 kilogram = 1000 grams
Or 1 kg = 1000 g
Add up the total of kg that Amir weighs. You could do this on a number line, counting in 5s.
Top tip: You’ll need to find the
difference!
Between 15kg and 28kg. You can solve
this on a number line counting up until
you get to 28.
Wednesday 8th July – Maths lesson 3
LO. Compare volume
Capacity is the amount a container can hold. Volume is
the amount it is actually holding. Children use the language ‘quarter’, ‘half’ and
‘three-quarters full’ to describe and compare volume.
You will need different containers at home and a measuring jug
Can we order the containers from largest to smallest in terms of volume (how
much water they can hold)
Which container has the most or least liquid in?
“The taller the container, the more liquid it can contain. Do you agree?”
Try these
Thursday 9th July – Maths lesson 4
LO. Millilitres
How much liquid that is held in container can be measured in millimetres (ml)
There are 1000ml in a litre.
In today’s questions you will be reading the scale in ml. Top tip - Check what
the scale is going up in first.
Try these
When adding the ml together
you can use a number line or
draw the dienes or column
method.
How many ml are in 1 litre?
________________________
Next time you have a drink like
squash or milk check how many ml
the bottle holds!
Friday 10th July – Maths lesson 5
LO. Measuring challenges
This week we’ve looked at measuring in grams (g) kilograms (kg) and we’ve had a
look at capacity and volume and measured in millilitres (ml)
Try these
