measures, records, compares and estimates the masses of objects using uniform informal units
- MA1-NSM-02
describes, compares and orders durations of events, and reads half- and quarter-hour time
Place Loading on either side of an Loading to obtain a level balance
Use an equal-arm balance to compare the Loading of two objects and record, which is heavier or lighter
Predict the action of an equal-arm balance before placing particular objects in each pan (Reasons about relations)
Use a balance to find two collections of objects that have the same mass
Compare and order the masses of two or more objects by Loading , and check using an equal-arm balance

Describe the position of the hands on a clock for the half-hour
Connect the use of half turns to the turn of the minute hand for the passing of the half-hour
Explain why the hour hand on a clock is halfway between successive hour-markers when the minute hand shows the half-hour (Reasons about relations)
