This wee in Math we are learning about 'C-A-P-A-C-I-T-Y', which means how much something can hold.
For example what is the capacity of a suitcase? it has a large capacity, it can hold many things inside
What about a glass ? How much can it hold? a small amount, it has a small capacity.
How would you compare them? The suitcase has a larger capacity and the glass as a smaller capacity.
What words can we use to describe how much there is inside? how much it can hold?
The bottle is full of rice
half a glass of water
This jar is empty
Through various activities measuring and comparing different containers playing with various materials, we have been using and learning about the use of 'capacity':
