Tips for Parents
▸ Practice and check This page contains scales only, not a mixed review of rulers and cups. The dial goes to 10 kg with ticks at whole kilograms, while the answers sit halfway between them. Between 2 and 3 is 2.5 kg; between 6 and 7 is 6.5 kg. There is no separate half-kilogram tick to count. Locate the neighboring one-kilogram ticks and judge the halfway needle position before writing the decimal. ▸ Worked example (2 + 3) ÷ 2 = 2.5 kg ▸ Check answers after trying 0–10 kg ▸ Next worksheet Reading Length.
