Young mathematicians may solve for cubic units but do they know what that is? This video does a great job of visually explaining not only how to find cubic volume, but what it means in relatable terms. 

After a class discussion that revolves around the measurements that most milk cartons come in, learners dig deeper to understand the mathematical relationships between these units of measurement. A very cute, and quite-effective...

Second graders take a field trip to a nearby church or other historical building and examine it from a mathematical perspective. In groups, they calculate the seating capacity, describe the window patterns, differentiate types of...

With a partner, learners work to answer several questions related to reading the capacity of a beaker filled with liquid. Given a 1 liter sized beaker, learners determine the fractional amount the beaker is filled to. This is a great way...

Sixth graders use problem solving strategies to determine the amount of gravel needed to fill the bottom of an aquarium that is 50 cm long, 20 cm wide, and 30 cm high. Students use centimeter cubes and brainstorm strategies they might...

A Gallery Walk is a technique that allows small groups to visit different stations, where they examine and discuss materials about an overarching topic. Questions about rivers and fluvial processes are available in this resource;...

This capacity PowerPoint allows students to experiment with capacity measurements. The slides contain several directions on how to measure cups of water and pour them into different sized containers. This PowerPoint enables students to...

Students estimate measurements in real world problem situations. In this estimation instructional activity, students read the book Pancakes, Pancakes and estimate how many cups equal a pint, quart, and gallon. Students test their...

Very little learners can use their noodle to determine which of the shown objects are full or empty. There are eighteen different images that display full or empty objects. This could be a good way to introduce opposites.

In this measurement worksheet, students measure volume and capacity by doing 2 activities. Students use a hollow box, cubes, and measuring cups to measure volume and capacity.

In this capacity worksheet, students follow a set of directions to play a game about capacity, cutting out cards, shuffling and determining if 2 cards chosen show the same capacity.

Students explore measuring cups according to volume. In this capacity instructional activity, students investigate how to estimate volume to make a healthy snack. Students measure ingredients and prepare a snack.

Students engage in a lesson to measure body parts. They use the measuring tape to record the data of body measurements. Students must choose the appropriate unit of measurement and compare the data for the different parts of the human body.

In this capacity comparisons worksheet, students cut out the pictures and match the containers together. Students glue the containers that hold less in the less column and that ones that hold more in the more column.

Use Glencoe's randomly generated self-checking quiz to test your knowledge of mass and capacity in the Metric System. Each question has a "Hint" link to help. Choose the correct answer for each problem. At the bottom of the page click...
