Filling Containers

This maths teaching pack for Key Stage One gets the children to practise dividing some different shaped containers and vessels using sets of unit fractions to match a range of vocabulary words to show their capacities.
The class can select some other fractions to record the matching capacities for different containers and vessels that might be used to hold liquids for specific functions.
Download this teaching pack including classroom activities and an interactive presentation to practise dividing some different shaped containers and vessels using sets of unit fractions to match a range of vocabulary words to show their capacities
Activities in this teaching pack include a set of differentiated worksheets to record how to divide different containers using fractions to match a range of vocabulary words for capacity using halves for support ability levels, quarters for core ability levels and thirds for extension ability levels.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to divide different containers using fractions to match a range of vocabulary words for capacity.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to identify and record the matching capacities of different sized bottles when using fractions to describe and compare how much liquid each bottle can hold. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
