Why this why now
This unit provides opportunities for pupils to apply their developing knowledge of 3-digit numbers in the context of mass and capacity. They will deepen their understanding of the concepts of volume and capacity with practical activities and record results in tables. Reading scales marked in different intervals allows pupils to apply counting in steps of different sizes which will support both measure and statistics work in the future.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Identify and use appropriate units
- Estimate and compare quantities
- Convert between common units
