Maths: Capacity

Using a variety of containers (cups, jugs, bottles, boxes, bowls, buckets, etc) and either a sand box or a basin of water please encourage your child to use the following maths vocabulary:

Empty, full, big, bigger, small, smaller, little, large, to the top, fill, how many? Holds more/less than, the same as, overflows, level

Below are some ideas to encourage the use of language:

Ask your child to fill a container. Is it full to the top? Is it overflowing? Is the water level?

Compare containers- which holds more? Can the water in the bottle fit into this cup?

How many cups will it take to fill a bucket? How many sponges will it take to fill a container?
