Volume Day

Today during Maths we were learning about volume and capacity.

We had 3 learning stations to move around and show our understanding of the work. 

Station 1 – How much water? 

    

After we solved the problem of leaking tubs, everyone had a chance to estimate the capacity of each of the containers, before we calculated the actual volume of water that they each could hold. 

Station 2 – Real Life Problem Solving on the Laptops 

 Our Active Maths resource has a very good programme available on our laptops that allows pupils to make calculations and decision based on their learning, and it then allows them to evaluate the benefits or consequences of their decisions. 

Today we looked at ‘Water Use’, where we had to decide how to use water in the given family’s home.  Our mission was to  keep members of the family happy whilst using water as efficiently as we could. 

Station 3 – Textbook Re-enforcement 

Working hard!
