Activities in this teaching pack include a template to estimate and record numbers of marbles that can fill different sized containers and a worksheet to record sets of objects that can and cannot fill other volumes in objects around the classroom.

The interactive presentation gets the children to identify and explain how to compare the volume of pairs of containers 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.
