0–10 kg
Tips for Parents
▸ Practice and check The dial reaches 10 kg. Numbers are printed every 2 kg, while ticks are 1 kg apart. A reading of 2 kg sits at a labeled position; 5 kg sits on the unnumbered tick between 4 and 6. This first weight page already includes unnumbered whole-kilogram ticks. If your child chooses 4 or 6 for the 5 kg example, show the single step between them rather than saying the needle has to point at a printed number. ▸ Worked example 2 + 0 × 1 = 2 kg ▸ Check answers after trying 0–10 kg ▸ Next worksheet Reading Weight.
