Capacity and volume

In maths we are learning about capacity and volume. We worked together to order different containers from low capacity to high capacity. We have also been estimating how many cups of water, or how many cubes it will take to fill different containers.



We had lots of estimates to guess how many cups of
 water it would take to fill the tub. One person estimated
20 cups and guessed correctly!

We estimated how many cups of water it would take to fill
 the basin. It took 45 cups and the closest guess
was 50 cups - not far off!

We estimated how many cups of water it would take
to fill the jug. It took 5 cups and the closest guess was 7.
