1B were looking at the concepts of volume and capacity. We were measuring the volume and capacity of different objects with cubes, water, dice and rice. 1B need to know though - is dumping or packing the best way to measure the volume and capacity of an object?
We think packing is the best way because you won't leave gaps or have any overflow, therefore it is a true measurement.

Counting Collections
In Maths, we have been practising counting collections of objects in efficient ways.
In Kindy we used to count by ones, but now we can count by twos, fives and tens!
 |
| Can you count by twos? Is there a more efficient way to count the pop sticks? |
 |
| Can you count by tens? How quickly can you count these counters? |
 |
| What is the quickest way to count these counters? By tens? Or is there another way? |
 |
| How could you count these blocks efficiently? Are there five in each group? |
