Class IV: A, B and C
Subject: Maths
Topic: Measurement of
Mass.
Date: 12th October, 2020
Units of Mass
The commonly used units to measure
mass are kilogram and gram. Kilogram (kg) is the unit to measure the mass of
bigger objects. Gram (g) is also a unit of mass but it measures smaller
objects.

Relationship
between kg and g.
1 kg = 1000 g
1 g =
When you convert
‘g’ to ‘kg’, divide by 1000
Example i) Convert 250 g into kg
(When we convert gram into kilogram we
have to divide by 1000.)
1kg = 1000 g
250 g = ____ kg
250 g ÷ 1000 = 0.25
250 g ÷ 1000 = 0.25 kg
Example ii) Convert
2.5kg into g
(When you convert ‘kg’ into
‘g’, multiply by 1000)
=
2.5kg x 1000 g
= 2500 g

Reflection for ICT blogger.
Among many online teachings
I found this particular topic (Measurement of mass) bit tough for the students
to explain, especially the conversion parts. This made me to understand that
students are lacking division concept.
So, inoder to give clear
concept I down loaded the video clip on this particular topic and shared with
the students in class group chats along with my own created video clips too.
Then I asked the students to redo the activities with some additional
activities.
I also modified the
activities because I found that the children facing difficulties especially
division with decimals.
Example;
Convert 250 g into kg
(When we convert gram into kilogram we
have to divide by 1000.)
1kg = 1000 g
250 g = ____ kg
0.25
250 1000
-1000
0
250
g ÷ 1000 = 0.25
250 g ÷ 1000 = 0.25 kg
After solving some more activities
the students could do better. But still students are not confident with conversion
especially divisions with decimals. One reason could be in Class III the topic division
is touched in brief and the most simplified manner without decimals. And another
reason could be the online teaching. I assume that if it had been a face to
face teaching both the teacher and students could perform better with some
remedial classes.
I am more worried and
wondering for the students with SIM. Before lockdown our school administration
planned to make visits students with SIM
for face to face teaching in an identified place and location in consultation
with local leaders as per the conveniences and safety of students and it was
going so well with positive feedbacks from parents. But I am confident that we
can do it once the situation comes into normal.
