This maths teaching pack for Key Stage One gets the children to investigate how to calculate and record the capacity of some different sized bottles using non-standard measurements to match vocabulary words.

The class can practise using repeated addition calculations to find and illustrate how many of the same sized cups could be filled from different numbers of matching bottles.

Download this teaching pack including classroom activities and an interactive presentation to investigate how to calculate and record the capacity of some different sized bottles using non-standard measurements to match vocabulary words

Activities in this teaching pack include a set of differentiated worksheets to practise calculating and recording the capacity of different sized bottles using non-standard measurements to show how many of the same sized cups can be filled from each matching capacity.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to calculate and record the capacity of different sized bottles using non-standard measurements.

This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to explain and model how to measure, calculate and record the capacities of different containers and vessels working with non-standard and standard units. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
