Capacity - MATHS FOCUS

This week we have been learning all about CAPACITY & VOLUME.

We have been working hard in pairs to solve lots of different challenges involving measuring the capacity of different vessels (containers). For each station we first have to estimate what we think the capacity of each container is. It has been hard to think about sensible estimations.

The key words we are learning this week are; capacity, volume, estimate,vessel, container, measure, litre, fill, more, less, equal.

Have a look at some of the children working at one of the stations!
