Year 3 Maths Journey
This week in maths we came to the end of our 'Mass and Capacity' unit. The children had the opportunity to use mechanical weighing scales to measure the mass of a range of items in the classroom, they then searched for items with an equivalent mass. We discussed the difference between capacity and volume and how to find that information using the measurement lines on a jug or beaker. We had the opportunity to use water to fill jugs to a given measurement, ready to help out with some baking at home!
Next, we will be looking back at fractions!
'Capacity is the maximum amount of liquid a jug can hold.' - Osazemen
‘Volume is the amount of liquid in the container at the time’ - George
