Learning about Volume and Capacity!

In Maths we have been learning all about Volume and Capacity.

We have been learning to:

• pack cubic units into rectangular containers so that there are no gaps
• measure the volume of a container by filling the container with uniform informal units and counting the number of units used
• record volumes by referring to the number and type of informal unit used 
• estimate volumes of containers by referring to the number and type of informal unit used and check by measuring
• estimate the volume of a pile of materials and check by measuring
• learning about displacement of liquids
