Volume,capacity and mass



Our first maths unit for term 4 explores the volume,capacity and mass of objects.
First we pushed,pulled and lifted light and heavy bags and boxes in order to become aware of mass. Then we poured sand to compare the volume of containers.
Today we had fun working with a partner to make a seesaw with a soft drink can and a sheet of corflute. We used lots of things around the classroom to make the seesaws balance. It was tricky, but we all managed it!
