Activity: Discover Capacity (Volumes) It is interesting to find how much things can hold, so today we will ...
You will need: Measuring Cup (for larger items) Measuring Spoons (for smaller items) Pen and paper Relative Sizes Find Cups around the house ... ... include at least one small one. Now, use the small one to fill each of the other ones in turn. Record your results here: Measured Sizes Use a Measuring Cup to measure how many milliliters (ml) or fluid ounces (fl oz) fit into each of your cups or glasses.
A measuring cup showing 150ml Pouring a cup into a measuring cup. What if the cup is larger then the measuring cup? Fill the measuring cup to the top mark, empty it and start again. Spoons We can also measure capacity using measuring spoons. Measuring Spoons (Tbs means Tablespoon, Tsp means Teaspoon) Pouring a tablespoon of water into a cup This time we will count how many tablespoons (tbs) you need to fill a cup. From Smallest to Largest Lastly, list all the items you measured, from the smallest to largest capacity.

It's a great way to teach probability and the students love it. I've been using it nearly every year since I was introduced to it through a program called the Mathline Middle School Math Project, sponsored by PBS (back in 1997?). I was involved in the program through my graduate studies at Allentown College of Saint Francis DeSales (now DeSales University). Anyway, this year, my student teacher is teaching our probability lessons; so she is the one who taught this lesson. This is how the lesson works: 1. Without much class discussion, we play the game a second time. After the second game, we have a discussion about all of the possible outcomes (sums) one can get when rolling 2 dice. After this discussion, we play the game for a third time, and students' "game boards" often look like this: This year, since I was observing rather than teaching, I was better able to hear some of the students' quiet comments to each other...
