Maths KS1: Titch and Ted Learn About Mass and Volume (pt 4/6)
Ted is very easily distracted in the kitchen and when an order comes in for chocolate cake Titch knows that he will need some help.
Ted learns about the units we use to measure mass and volume. Together they use balance scales to measure in grams. Then they use a measuring jug to measure in millilitres.
Ted begins to understand the difference between millilitres and litres and grams and kilograms. He learns that 1000 grams weigh the same as 1 kilogram.
This clip is from the series Titch and Ted Do Maths.
Contains some scenes which could be imitated by younger viewers. Teacher review recommended prior to use in class.
