Sort Heavy and Light Things

Bring real objects to lift and compare, and let children guess before circling. Talk about safe hot and cold things.

Cut out 6 pictures, such as a leaf, a bowling ball and a brick, and glue each in the Heavy or Light box. The directions on the page read: An adult reads the words aloud. Cut out the 6 pictures. Glue each one in the Heavy box or the Light box. The page opens with a worked example, and an answer key is included.

Yes, both. We made it for Preschool measurement, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with weight, volume and temperature. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

14 printable worksheets, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for preschool children, roughly ages 3-5. Start with the first few pages, use the free preview to judge the fit, and come back to harder ones as your child gets steadier.

No. Most pages ask children to circle, trace, match, color, or cut and paste, and a few ask for a single number. A grown-up can read the instructions aloud, so children do not need to read yet.
