☞ Let’s have a hunting activity at home! Give your kids 5 minutes to hunt 1 item that measures its content in 1 litre or more, and 1 item that measures in millilitres.
☞ Ask: “ Why these items are using different units? ”
📝 Learn
☞ Using the worksheet
‘Less than, Equal to or More than a litre’
to consolidate the understanding of the different units of liquid volume.
🧩 Extension
🪄 Apply
☞ Level up the hunting game! Go grocery shopping with your kids and ask them to hunt more examples of liquid volume.
☞ Or, you could select a range of products that use millilitres or litres as units and ask your kids to sort them out into two groups (millilitres and litres) without reading the labels.

#Critical Thinking
Kids will learn the usage of millilitres and litres by classifying a bunch of products. Then, they will be able to choose an appropriate unit for fluid objects that they interact with in everyday life.
#Communication
Kids will learn how to communicate with appropriate mathematical language, using less than, equal to or more than a litre.
#Collaboration
Kids will work with their parents when writing the worksheet.
#Creating & Innovation
Kids will generate their ideas and build their understanding of volume metric units when practicing mathematics learning strategies: Using a referent, chunking and unitising.
