How to use this worksheet
- Look at the proportions of the model: each weight is a tall, narrow rectangle, and the bar is a thin strip joined to the middle of both weights.
- Each of the six rows starts with a solid dumbbell and one dashed dumbbell; in the blank space your child draws the rest, so ask them to show the top corner of the first weight before starting.
What this worksheet teaches
Copying a shape made only of rectangles is a test of precision: your child plans the order of the lines, measures heights by eye and checks that the bar sits in the middle.
Play idea
Hold a strength contest: in each row your child circles the three dumbbells that best match the model and draws a gold medal above each winner.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Isn't this too easy for children aged 6–8?
The shape is simple on purpose: with no dashes, all the attention goes to precision, and a whole row of dumbbells with matching weights is harder than it looks.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 6–8 — with no guide after the second dumbbell, the challenge is keeping every weight the same height and the bar centered, which shows how accurate straight lines have become.
How long does this worksheet take?
About 10 minutes for six rows of dumbbells, since the shape is simple; for a longer session, turn each row into a contest of neat corners rather than speed.
