FOCUS THIS WEEK:

Week 5:    V.D.2  recognize how much can be placed within an object

Estimation : Teach estimation with three dimensional examples

Fill three dramatically different sized jars with the same quantity of jelly beans, rice, buttons or sand.  Ask the children to guess or estimate which one contains the most.  Discuss how much each container could hold and compare the capacity of each jar.  Pour the contents of the jar into measuring cupsto show how the capacity cant trick us. 

Volume :  

Use different sized cups to demonstrate volume for the children.  Line up cups of varying size.  Be sure to include wide, narrow, short and tall.  Fill two cups at the same time with different amounts of water. Have children guess which cups have the most water.  You can further demonstrate by showing the class what happens when you pour water from one sized glass to another.  If water is too messy you can use rice.
