Capacity

This week we will be focusing on Capacity. Ensure that the children understand that the word ‘capacity’ means the measurement of how much a container can hold, use the word in relation to stadiums, theatres, etc. Make sure the children know that items that have a capacity also have a weight and a length/width/depth. Often children if asked, ‘What is the weight of this bottle?’ will reply ‘It doesn’t have a weight it only has a capacity.’ Spend time writing vertically a capacity question that can be written horizontally. Children can easily place unit numbers in the tens or hundreds column. For example, in sums such as 5L 350ml + 7L 2ml the 2 is often placed incorrectly under the 3 instead of the 0, changing its value to 200ml.
