Understanding Mass in Grams and Kilograms
From weighing ingredients in the kitchen to measuring objects in science experiments and more, knowing how to read and compare mass helps students develop a strong foundation in measurement and problem-solving.
Grams (g) and kilograms (kg) are both units of mass, but they measure different amounts. Grams are used for lighter objects, like a pencil or an apple, while kilograms measure heavier items, like a backpack or a watermelon.
Our worksheets feature visual aids to help students grasp the concept of mass, along with word problem exercises that apply measurement skills, addition and subtraction to everyday situations. Perfect for classroom learning or extra practice at home.
