Measuring and weighing in kindergarten
Measuring and weighing is an essential area of competence in mathematics. For this reason, it is important to integrate the topic of measuring and weighing in kindergarten as part of early maths education and to promote it in an age-appropriate way. The illustrative teaching material from TimeTEX is ideal for teaching children the basics of measuring and weighing in a playful way in kindergarten.
Our measuring instruments for weighing, such as the beam scale, can be used to train children's sense of different weights. Children learn to use the scales to check weights that they have previously felt and estimated with their hands. In addition to weighing, using a scale also offers the opportunity to make comparisons and answer questions: what is heavier - what is lighter, does it weigh more or less? This gives children a sense of orientation in their environment and also encourages mathematical and logical thinking.
Children are proud to be getting bigger and bigger. And what better way to teach them about measurement and size than with their own height? How tall am I? Am I taller than you? What are centimetres? All these questions can be answered with our wooden measuring stick. Children learn to measure and compare sizes in a fun way.
How much water is half a litre of snow? How much does 500 ml of water weigh? Our measuring jugs in various designs are ideal for experimenting with water and measuring volumes, contents and weights. Children can also learn that ½ litre of water in a narrow tall beaker is just as much liquid as in a wide shallow beaker and realise that quantities remain the same, even if they appear different in different containers.
Measuring and weighing with children - learning objectives and key areas of support
In kindergarten, measuring and weighing offers a wide range of learning experiences and development opportunities for children:
- The children learn about different measuring instruments and their units of measurement.
- They learn how to use the instruments independently and develop a love of exploration and comparison.
- Social behaviour and language skills are developed through the sharing of results
- They learn about mathematical and physical laws
- Concepts such as bigger - smaller, more - less, heavier - lighter or the same amount are consolidated and the ability to use them correctly is increased.
- Children learn to compare sizes, lengths, weights and volumes.
- Playful experimentation with volume develops spatial awareness
- The children's perception is trained and their ability to concentrate is increased
- Children learn to assess themselves and their abilities better, thus gaining a sense of reality in their lives.
