Read a Mass Scale (g and kg): worked example

A gram scale has numbers every 100 and a small mark every 50. The needle points to the small mark after 300. What is the mass? 350 g

The needle is 50 past 300, so the mass is 350 grams.

Read a Mass Scale (g and kg): how to help at home or in class

Draw a dial on a paper plate with numbers every 100 grams and a small mark halfway between, then attach a paper arrow with a brad.
