Year 1 heavier or lighter worksheets
Support your Year 1 pupils in understanding and comparing weights with this colourful and engaging heavier or lighter worksheet pack. These worksheets use simple balancing scales and familiar objects like crabs, fish, starfish, shells, spades, pebbles, seahorses, and more to help pupils decide which items are heavier, lighter, or equal in weight.
The pack includes activities where pupils tick the correct sentence based on the scales, and others where they complete sentences comparing the weights of different objects. This clear and visual approach makes it easier for young learners to grasp the concepts of heavier than, lighter than, and equal to.
These worksheets build early scientific understanding alongside maths skills, encouraging observation and comparison in a practical context. They are perfect for classroom use, homework, or small group work, helping pupils develop confident and accurate reasoning about weight and balance.
