Learning Resources Customary SAFE-T Weight Set – 13 Pieces (1oz, 2oz, 8oz, 1lb)

Overview

The Learning Resources Customary SAFE-T Weight Set is a tactile tool designed to bring mass, weight, and measurement concepts to life in the classroom. With color-coded, stackable pieces, students can manipulate the weights, compare values, and discuss results as they work through hands-on activities.

What’s Included

• Eight plastic-coated 1 oz weights
• Two 2 oz weights
