Activities in this teaching pack include a set of display posters to identify special vocabulary that can be used to describe the capacity of a container, a template to record the amount of water poured into a bottle and a worksheet to estimate and measure the amount of cubes that can be used to fill different sized pots.

The interactive presentation gets the children to identify and define some of the special vocabulary words that can be used to describe the capacity of a container or vessel and suggest how the capacities can be recorded using non-standard measurements.

This lesson is part of a numeracy scheme of work to get the children to practise and model different ways of measuring and comparing the length, height, volume, capacity and mass of different objects by using counting skills. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
