WALT:
Connect volume and capacity and their unit of measure. WILF: All students will make connections between capacity and volume and represent this connection in one way. Most students will make connections between capacity and volume and applies this to solve problems. Some students will apply the connection between capacity and volume to solve problems and represent the connection using units |

Find the volume of a container which has a length of 23 cm, a width of 11 cm and a height of 9 cm. What is the capacity of liquid the container can hold? c.How many cubic metres of water would be needed to fill a diving pool which has a length of 16 m, a width of 12 m and a depth of 4 m? Now convert your answer to how many litres. |

Volume
The volume of an object is the total space occupied by the object (3D and measured in cubic units.) Capacity The amount a container can hold. This is different to volume, which is how much a space it takes up. An example of this difference is if you consider an esky. The amount of room it takes up in the boot of your car is volume. The amount it can hold is its capacity. |
Using isometric paper create 3D shape for your shoulder partner to solve the volume.
