Weighing In

"Grocery shopping offers opportunities for children to increase their estimation and measurement skills by choosing and weighing fruit and vegetables" (from ed.gov parent resources). Kids are estimating the weight of different items and confirm their estimates by weighing afterward. Kids are encouraged to use different units of measurement and compare the number of heavier / lighter items necessary for a certain weight. This is one of seven in a series of activities for practicing math skills at the grocery store.
