Year 1 Measuring Capacity

Date: 26th Apr 2023 @ 6:37pm

Today we measured and compared the capacity of different containers using non-standard units of measure. We recapped on our understanding of the word capacity and understood that this is how much of something it can hold. We then watched Miss Kay measuring the capacity of a container, making sure the units of measure remain the same and measuring the capacity accurately by filling the container to the top. We recognised that by finding the capacity of different containers, we could work out which containers have a greater capacity and how we know this. We then compared more than 2 containers, putting them in either ascending or descending order of capacity.
