Grams!

The Small Unit for Mass

Grade 5 Ontario Math ๐Ÿ“š โ€ข Measurement

Hello my wonderful Grade 5 superstar! ๐Ÿ‘‹

I'm Kashef and today we're learning about Grams (g)! A gram is a small unit we use to measure mass (how heavy something is). There are 1,000 grams in 1 kilogram. We use grams for light things like an apple or a chocolate bar. Ready to weigh things with grams? Letโ€™s go! ๐Ÿš€

๐Ÿง  What is a Gram?

1 gram (g) is very light โ€” about the mass of a paperclip or a small grape.

1,000 grams (g) = 1 kilogram (kg)
500 g = half a kilogram

โš–๏ธ When Do We Use Grams?

โœ… Weighing fruit or vegetables at the store
โœ… Ingredients for baking (250 g flour)
โœ… Small toys or school supplies
โœ… Letters and packages at the post office
