Teachables Volume and Capacity Theme Kit

This all-inclusive Volume/Capacity Theme Kit offers essential tools for primary classrooms investigating liquid measurement and spatial volume. Delivered in a sturdy storage tub, the kit contains a diverse array of measuring cylinders, relational solids, measuring cups, jugs, funnels, and other precise instruments, enabling students to develop a concrete understanding of volume and capacity concepts. The inclusion of standard metric units such as litres, cups, and spoons alongside specialised volume relationship sets encourages experimentation with conversion and comparison of different measurement units. Designed for flexible classroom use, the kit supports rotation or sharing among students and can be customised to meet individual school requirements. Its practical components facilitate hands-on learning through pouring, measuring, and comparing liquid quantities, building both mathematical and scientific literacy.

Educational Benefits:

• Fosters understanding of volume and capacity through direct manipulation of measurement tools.
• Reinforces metric system knowledge and unit conversions in practical contexts.
• Encourages precision and accuracy in measuring liquids and solids.
• Supports scientific inquiry through observation, estimation, and recording of volume data.

Classroom Ideas:

• Organise measurement challenges where students pour and compare volumes using different containers.
• Use relational solids to explore volume relationships and spatial reasoning.
• Set up experiments to estimate and verify capacity using measuring jugs and cylinders.
• Create hands-on activities to convert between millilitres and litres in everyday contexts.
