Math: Measurement: Capacity/Volume

New Concept: Show a variety of containers. Another way we can measure is by finding out how much something can hold. A word for this is capacity. Hold up a medium size container. I am going to see how many scoops (cups) of rice this container will hold. Count with me. Use a scoop or cup to fill your container. Now hold up another container that has a lower capacity than your first one. Question students about whether the smaller container will hold more or less. Guide students to use the language of higher or lower capacity (vs there is less rice). NOTE: This series of lessons will focus on capacity, volume, and conservation of matter versus standard measurements (ie. cups, pints…)

Whole Group Explore: The students will explore filling their containers, then transferring the rice to another container. After a period of exploration they will stop and order their containers from the highest capacity to the lowest capacity.
