CURRICULUM OUTCOMES
Australian Curriculum:
Compare directly and indirectly and order objects and events using attributes of length, mass, capacity and duration, communicating reasoning (AC9M1M01)
NSW Curriculum:
Outcomes:
Measures, records, compares and estimates internal volumes (capacities) and volumes using uniform informal units. (MA1-3DS-02)
Content:
Measure the internal volume (capacity) of containers by packing
Pack cubic units (e.g. blocks) into rectangular containers so that there are no gaps
Recognise that cubes pack better than other objects in rectangular containers
Estimate and measure the internal volume of a container by filling the container with uniform informal units and counting the number of units used
Explain that if there are gaps when packing and stacking, this will affect the accuracy of measuring the internal volume
Construct volumes using cubes
Explore different rectangular prisms that can be made from a given number of cubes
Devise and explain strategies for stacking and counting units to form a rectangular prism
Record volumes, referring to the number and type of uniform informal unit used
