In this lesson, children will learn that volume is the amount of solid space something takes up and recognise the difference with capacity; which relates to the amount a container can hold.  They will work practically with interlocking cubes to support them.  There is a teaching presentation accompanied by differentiated activities with a range of fluency, reasoning and problem-solving questions.

National Curriculum Objectives:
Mathematics Year 5:

Estimate volume [for example, using 1 cm³ blocks to build cuboids (including cubes)] and capacity [for example, using water]

Differentiation:  There are three levels of differentiation in this pack: ‘working towards,’ ‘expected’, ‘greater depth’.

Level of this Pack:
Age: 9 - 10
 England & Wales: Year 5
 Scotland: Primary 5
