Measuring Capacity

A good concept to do outside while it’s nice, especially if you have a paddling pool out.  Pick the worksheet you’d like to try, they are levelled using 1, 2 and 3 stars.

Use words like full, nearly full, half full, half empty, nearly empty and empty to describe how much liquid is in a container.

We can use smaller containers to fill larger one and say how many times the smaller one has to be filled to fill the larger one.  Try estimating first.

Find an assortment of containers and order them from least to most depending on how much water they will hold.  Can you find a way of checking?
