1.0 Introduction:
Volume of Liquid is one of the topic in Year 2 Mathematics.Many children come to school with some concept of length and some vocabulary associated with it. But very little idea on capacity. Young children often make the comparisons on length ( to be exact, the height) rather than on capacity while perceptual comparisons can be made between two containers. Most children will choose the taller container even if the shorter one actually holds more when the teacher ask which holds more. Thus, the study of capacity is the best to begin by using direct comparison.
Diagram1.0 These three containers have very different shapes. However they all hold the same volume of liquid.
