Which object is heavier

Math

• The child has learned the concept of weight and how it is measured.
• They have learned to compare the weights of different objects.
• They have learned to identify the heavier object based on their weight.
• The child has also learned to use simple comparative language such as "heavier" and "lighter."

Continued development can be encouraged by introducing more objects of varying weights for the child to compare. They can also be given opportunities to estimate the weight of objects before actually measuring them. Additionally, they can be challenged to sort objects based on their weight or create their own balance scale using everyday materials.
