3.0 How to Measure And Compare Volume Of Liquid

How to Measure And Compare Volume Of Liquid Using Non - standard Units


Teaching Activity 1; Using non-standard units

Learning Outcomes;
pupils will be able to measure and compare volume of liquids by using non-standard units correctly.

Previous Knowledge;
Pupils had learnt how to compare objects: more or less during their previous lesson while learning A Whole Numbers topic.
