OUTCOME
A student:
MA1-11MG: measures, records, compares and estimates volumes and capacities using uniform informal units
Teaching Points | The order in which volume and capacity appear in the content is not necessarily indicative of the order in which they should be taught. |
Calibrating a container using uniform informal units is a precursor to students using measuring cylinders calibrated in formal units (litres and millilitres) at a later stage. | |
| An object displaces its own volume when totally submerged. | |
| Refer also to background information in Volume and Capacity Year 1 |
| Language | Students should be able to communicate using the following language: capacity, container, volume, measure. |
Compare and order several objects based on volume and capacity using appropriate uniform informal units (ACMMG037) | make and use a measuring device for capacity calibrated in uniform informal units, eg calibrate a bottle by adding cups of water and marking the new level as each cup is added |
compare and order the capacities of two or more containers by measuring each container in uniform informal units | |
compare and order the volumes of two or more models by counting the number of blocks used in each model | |
– recognise that models with different appearances may have the same volume (Reasoning) | |
compare and order the volumes of two or more objects by marking the change in water level when each is submerged | |
– recognise that changing the shape of an object does not change the amount of water it displaces (Reasoning) | |
record volume and capacity comparisons informally using drawings, numerals and words, and by referring to the uniform informal unit used |
