“Guess & Weigh” is a hands-on, outdoor maths and science investigation where students head outside to explore and collect natural items, such as stones, sticks, pinecones, or leaves. They will estimate the weight of each item, then use scales to check how accurate they were. On the second activity sheet, students calculate the difference between their estimated and actual weight.
This activity is a fun and practical way to connect numeracy with the real world in the outdoor environment.
