Check answers after trying
1: 4 kg; 2: 12 kg; 3: 18 kg; 4: 7 kg; 5: 15 kg; 6: 9 kg; 7: 3 kg; 8: 17 kg
0–20 kg
Tips for Parents
▸ Practice and check This dial reaches 20 kg. Its numbers are 4 kg apart, with a tick at each whole kilogram. Read 12 kg from its label; read 17 kg by moving one tick after 16. The dial can look much like the 10 kg version even though its range has changed. Finding the value of a tick from the labels is more useful here than memorizing a needle angle from an earlier picture. ▸ Worked example 4 + 0 × 1 = 4 kg ▸ Check answers after trying 0–20 kg ▸ Next worksheet Reading Weight.
