Mathematics - Primary 1 - Capacity: 3-Dimensional Shapes

STEP 1: INTRODUCTION

- Introduce the concept of capacity by asking pupils what they think it means. - Show different 3D shapes (cubes, spheres, cylinders).

- Pupils listen and discuss their thoughts on capacity.

STEP 2: EXPLANATION

- Explain that capacity refers to how much something can hold. - Describe the different shapes and their capacity.

- Pupils observe and ask questions about the different shapes and their uses.

STEP 3: DEMONSTRATION

- Demonstrate the use of measuring cups to fill a 3D container (like a cube or cylinder) with water or sand.

- Pupils observe and ask questions during the demonstration.

STEP 4: INTERACTIVE SESSION

- Ask pupils to fill various 3D shapes with water or sand to explore their capacity.

- Pupils fill different containers with water or sand, comparing which holds more.

STEP 5: NOTE TAKING

- Write the word "Capacity" and examples of 3D shapes on the board.

- Pupils copy the word "Capacity" and examples of 3D shapes into their notebooks.

STEP 1: INTRODUCTION

- Recap the concept of capacity and the 3D shapes.

- Pupils recall what they learned about capacity and 3D shapes.

STEP 2: EXPLANATION

- Explain how we measure the capacity of 3D objects in liters and milliliters (in simple terms).

- Pupils listen attentively and observe the teacher’s demonstration.

STEP 3: DEMONSTRATION

- Demonstrate measuring the capacity of a cylinder using water and measuring cups (e.g., how many milliliters).

- Pupils observe and learn how to measure the capacity of 3D objects.

STEP 4: INTERACTIVE SESSION

- Pupils practice measuring the capacity of different 3D shapes using measuring cups and various containers.

- Pupils engage in hands-on measurement of different containers, comparing results.

STEP 5: NOTE TAKING

- Write the measurement terms “liters” and “milliliters” on the board, explaining when to use each term.

- Pupils copy down the terms and understand their meaning.
