#TheCompleteSeries5lessons

There's plenty of opportunities for them to use their estimating and measuring skills to determine, compare and order capacities of different containers or measure volumes of liquid. This capacity Year 2 unit of work comes with slides, plans, activity ideas and printable resources; everything you need to challenge your class and develop their measuring skills.

This five-lesson scheme comes with slides, plans, activity ideas and printable resources; giving you everything you need to challenge your class and develop their measuring skills.

#Lesson1ComparingCapacities

Reintroduce your class to the concept of capacity and volume in this first lesson in which they will look at the capacity of different containers. They will be asked to investigate and describe the containers’ shapes and sizes before using water or pourable solids to compare the capacities. They then use or = symbols to record their comparisons.

What's included:

  • Lesson plan
  • Slides
  • Activity ideas
  • Capacity cards
