Heavier and Lighter
Balance scales, cubes and kitchen scales: which is heavier, how many cubes, and how many grams or kilograms.
Mass from the first comparisons to reading a scale. The balance goes down on the heavier side, and two things share a balance only when one is clearly heavier, so the picture never argues with what the child knows. Weigh things in cubes, read kitchen scales in kilograms, grams or both (every mark numbered, or only some so the child counts on), draw the pointer for a given mass, or number packages from lightest to heaviest by their labels.
