Estimating Volume and Capacity

By the end of this unit, students will be able to:

1. Understand the concept of capacity as the amount of liquid a container can hold.
2. Develop strategies to estimate the capacity of different containers using various methods.
3. Apply the concept of estimating capacity to solve real-life and mathematical problems.

Curriculum Alignment: Year 5 Measurement:

• estimate volume [for example, using 1 cm³ blocks to build cuboids (including cubes)] and capacity [for example, using water]
