Lesson Five – Filling Bottles

This numeracy teaching pack for the Foundation Stage gets the children to explore and record how to measure and compare the capacity of different sized vessels and containers using non-standard measurements and vocabulary words.
The class can estimate and measure how many individual vessels can be filled from special containers with different matching capacities.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to explore and record how to measure and compare the capacity of different sized vessels and containers using non-standard measurements and vocabulary words
Activities in this teaching pack include a template to estimate and match the capacity of different bottles using non-standard measurements by filling cups and a worksheet to identify and record the capacity of different sized buckets by filling them with sand.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to measure and compare the capacity of different sized vessels and containers using non-standard measurements.
This lesson is part of a numeracy scheme of work to get the children to measure, compare and record the mass and capacity of different objects and containers using a range of non-standard measurements. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
