Maths: weighing using kg and g

We used kitchen scales to weigh pieces of fruit. First we estimated the mass of the fruit in kg, by holding it in our hands. Then we weighed it on the scales to see how close our estimate was. If we were wrong, it did not matter, because we learned to adjust our estimates in the right direction. We also tried writing masses in kg using a decimal point. We became quite good at it, getting the zeroes and other figures in the right places.
