Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Provide learners with variety of objects picked from the environment and around the school, e.g. leaves, pens, paper, balloons, paper aeroplanes, bottle tops, bottles with water, empty bottles, rocks. Working in small groups, have learners use non-standardized scales to estimate the weight of these objects and then classify them into two groups, objects that have weight and heavy, and objects that have little weight and less heavy. Using bottle tops or other countable objects, guide learners to pick and count the number of objects in each category. Pick the numeral card which matches with the number of objects.
