 Maths – Compare capacity and volume

• In this lesson, we will be building on our work with capacity to compare capacities using the greater than/ less than symbols.

• we will use our knowledge of reading scales and our understanding of capacity and volume to compare and order different values.
• we will begin to add and subtract capacities and volumes, including regrouping the values. We will use the partitioning strategy as a process to add or subtract the mixed-units (l and ml).
• we will be applying our knowledge of capacity and reading scales, to solve problems involving capacity and volume.
• This is going to be a practical lesson which will involve estimating various weights (mass) and capacities before actually measuring them. The challenge today will be to see how close your estimate was to the actual measurement by calculating the difference.
