4.0 Standard Measurements for Volume of Liquid

 Activity 2: Teaching Activities for low achiever students

Date                             :  15.10.2010   (Friday)

Time                             :  0830 – 0930

Class                            :  Year Two

Unit 10                         :  Volume of Liquid

Title                             :  Measure volumes of liquids using standard units.

Vocabulary                 : half full, empty, more, less                                     

Learning Area            :  Measure and compare volumes of liquid

Learning Outcomes      :   By the end of the lesson, pupils will be able to measure

                                           volume of liquids by using standard units correctly.

Learning Objective       :   Measure and compare volumes of liquid by using

                                           uniform standard units.

Prior Knowledge           :   Pupils had learnt that the content of water will be

                                           determined based on their containers. That means the

                                           bigger containers show more volume of liquid while

                                           the smaller containers give us less volume of liquid.

Materials (Teaching aids)       :  Different sizes of containers, a pail of water, and two measuring cylinders.

Mathematics concepts / skill   :  Measuring with standard units.

Values                                       :  Careful

Procedures (Teaching activities)  :
1. Teachers divide the class into group of five pupils and have them work in their group.     
2. Teacher appoints one student in the each group to be the recorder .
3. Teacher give each group : (i) 5 set of containers in different sizes.

(ii) a pail of water

(iii) two measuring cylinders. (One for liter and another

             one for milliliter)
4. Teacher will request each group will fill every container with water.

5. They will measure the volume of liquid in each container by pouring the water

 from the containers into the measuring cylinders.

6. A group member record the results in the form given
7. Teacher should introduce the pupils: (i) 1 liter = 1000 milliliter
                                (ii)1 liter x 1000 milliliter = 1000 milliliter
8. Teacher give some worksheet to the student to practice.
