How to play The Canine Crew: Measuring Mass

Use the map to choose which part of Woofington village you’d like to visit first and put your maths skills to good use.

Will you challenge yourself to help Postie Dog sort and measure the mass of the parcels before loading them onto the delivery van? Make sure it’s balanced before you set off!

Or will you head to the bakery to help Baker Dog bake a tray of fancy dog treats? You will need to measure the mass of the ingredients using scales.

Builder Dog also needs help to finish off building a giant dog kennel – but be careful, some of the building materials are heavier than others!
