Next week the students will be introduced to the measurement of capacity. They will have some different sized containers and use some materials to decide which container will hold the most or the least. This learning experiece will assist the student with their visualization skills about different sized containers and how some containers can be deceiving. For example, a container that is short but wide may hold as much as one that is tall and narrow. Young students often will think the tall and narrow container will hold a lot more than any other container.

You can further your child's learning with capacity when baking or cooking and show them some different sized bowls, cake pans, etc.
