Maths | Measurement | Weight

Weight is how heavy an object is. The standard forms of measuring weight are: Grams (g), Kilograms (kg) and Tonnes (t). People often use items such as a scale or bucket balance to measure weight.

An estimation is an educated guess on something. Estimations are based off of our prior knowledge and our experiences. For example, people are measured in kilograms, so smaller objects would be measured in grams.


When converting grams to kilograms, divide by one thousand. When converting kilograms to tonnes, the numbers divide by one thousand.
