Student:

Estimates, measures, compares and records volumes and capacities using litres, millilitres and cubic centimetres  || Selects and uses the appropriate unit to estimate and measure volume and capacity, including the volume of rectangular prisms  || WMS 3.1- Asks questions that could be explored using mathematics in relation to Stage 3 content ||||||  ||   || WMS3.2 Selects and applies appropriate problem-solving strategies, including technological applications, in undertaking investigations ||||||  ||   || WMS3.3 Describes and represents a mathematical situation in a variety of ways using mathematical terminology and some conventions ||||||  ||   || WMS3.4 Gives a valid reason for supporting one possible solution over another ||||||  ||   || WMS3.5 Links mathematical ideas and makes connections with, and generalisations about, existing knowledge and understanding in relation to Stage 3 content ||||||  ||   ||
 * Lesson One- Assessing students prior knowledge and developing the concept of capacity.  ||

 * Estimates, measuring and comparing volumes and capacities using litres, millilitres and cubic centimetres ||  ||||   ||
 * Packing small containers with cubic centimetre blocks and describing packing in terms of layers eg ‘2 layers of 10 cubic centimetre blocks’ ||  ||||   ||
 * estimate the number of cups needed to fill a container with a capacity of one litre (Applying Strategies) ||  ||||   ||
 * explain the need for a standard unit to measure the volume of liquids and the capacity of containers (Communicating) ||  ||||   ||
 * recognise that one litre containers can be a variety of shapes (Reflecting) ||  ||||   ||
 * MS3.3
 * estimating then measuring the capacity of rectangular containers by packing with cubic centimetre blocks ||||||  ||   ||
 * selecting the appropriate unit to measure volume and capacity ||||||  ||   ||
 * explain the advantages of using a cube as a unit to measure volume (Communicating, Reasoning) ||||||  ||   ||
 * explain that objects with the same volume may have different shapes (Communicating, Reflecting) ||||||  ||   ||
