INTRODUCTION

         

• The volume of an object is the amount of space it takes up. You will often measure the volume of liquids using a graduated cylinder. (“Graduated” means that the cylinderis marked with measurement units.) Always read a graduated cylinder at eye level. Also, water in a graduated cylinder has a curved surface called the meniscus. Read the volume at the bottom of the meniscus. 

• Volume of liquid refers to the capacity of liquids in the containers. Capacity can be measured by using non standard units (more or less) and in standard units in millimeters (ml) and litters (l) in the metric system. Investigations amount of liquids which can be poured between containers of different shapes and sizes. Exploration of capacity or volume of liquid involves manipulation of containers of various sizes that may either be collected or purchased for classroom activities. A cheap way to do the activities is to have your students collect some containers such as mineral water bottles, soft drink cans, vases etc which can   be found around them.                      

TEACHING AIDS

MATHEMATICS TEACHING AIDS
The teaching aids are needed to help teach Mathematics effectively.The best teaching aids are manipulatives. They are useful in introducing concepts and solidifying concepts. They allow the pupils to reason and solve problems, generating creative thinking. Therefore, the two teaching aids chosen for teaching measuring volume of waterare plastic cups and plastic bottles. In this way, the pupils can understand and master the math concepts.

Objectives of the Teaching Aids
1. They help the learners improve their manipulative skills.
2. They aid to illustrate or reinforce the skill, the fact and idea

3.  Mathematics lessons are not that stressful as the teaching aids can help relieve anxiety, fears or boredom as the teaching aids are a joy to work with.

SAMPLE TEACHING AIDS OF VOLUME OF LIQUIDS

• Cups , bottles , cylinder and  bucket some of  the  teaching aids of volume of liquid.  These things are easilyavailable and help in making the learning and  teaching process effectively.





 

TEACHING ACTIVITY

TEACHING ACTIVITIY  FOR HIGH ACHIEVER STUDENTS

Curriculum Specifications:
6.1 Introduction to Volume of Liquid
6.2 Measuring and Comparing Volumes of Liquids

Vocabulary: empty, half full, full, volume, liquid, measure, more, much, capacity, level, holds more than, holds less than, holds about the same as, holds a lot more than,holds just a little more than and not quite as much as.

Teacher can display those collections of containers in a learning centre for students to explore capacity measurement. Every learning centre should have at least a standard graduated measuring cylinder in liters and millimeters. This is to enable the students to measure volume of liquids especially in standard units Teacher can display those collections of containers in a learning centre for students to explore capacity measurement. Every learning centre should have at least a standard graduated measuring cylinder in liters and millimeters. This is to enable the students to measure volume of liquids especially in standard units

ACTIVITY 1 :- Using standard units

Learning Outcomes
• By end of lesson, pupils are able to measure volumes of liquid using standard measurement

Materials
• A pail of water
• Different sizes of containers such as jug, mug and a small size pail
• Cylinders in different unit measurement- milliliter and liter

Prior Knowledge

Pupils had learnt how to compare objects: more or less, many or a few, high or low during their previous lesson while learning A Whole Numbers

Procedures
1. Pupils are divided into group of three groups to conduct their cooperative learning.
2. Each group is given teaching aids as  below.

3. Each group will fill every container with water.

Group , Teaching Aids

Group A , A medium size water pail, a milliliter cylinder and a 1 liter cylinder
Group B , A water jug, , a milliliter cylinder and a 1 liter cylinder
Group C , A water mug, , a milliliter cylinder and a 1 liter cylinder

Group D , A water cup, , a milliliter cylinder and a 1 liter cylinder

4. They will measure the volume of liquid in each container by pouring the water from the containers into the measuring cylinders.

5. A group member record the results in the form given. Introduce the pupils the formula as per below:-

1 liter = 1000 milliliter
1 liter x 1000 milliliter = 1000 milliliter

Conclusion;For this activities pupils know that volume of liquid can be measured by using metric units such milliliters and liter. They also understand the relationship between both measurement tools.

WORKSHEETS

Pupils will record their finding in the table below

Pail	Capacities	Results
Jug	______ ml / l	Holds (less/more)
Mug	______ ml / l	Holds (less/more)
Cup	______ ml / l	Holds (less/more)

                                  

TEACHING ACTIVITIY  FOR LOWER ACHIEVER STUDENTS

ACTIVITY 2 :- Using Non-Standard And Standard Units

Learning Outcomes
By the nd of the lesson, pupils will be able to measure and compare volume of liquids by using non-standard and standard measurement correctly

MATERIALS
· Two beaker ( big and small)
· Two tea pot ( big and small)
· Two pail ( big and small)
· Two curry pot ( big and small)
· Two jug ( big and small)

. Two mug ( big and small)
· Measuring cylinders (1 liter)
· Cups

. Pail of water

PROCEDURES

1.Divide the pupils into group of four to do work in their cooperative learning.
2.Point one student to be the recorder in the group
3.Give each group 3 set of containers of different sizes, a pail of water and two measuring cylinders. ( One for milliliter and another
4.Each group will fill every container with water and state which is more or less
5. Then, they will measure the volume of liquid in each container in liter and milliliter by pouring the water from the containers into those measuring cylinders
6.A group member record the results in the form given.
7. They will measure the volume of liquid in each container by pouring the water from the containers into the measuring cylinders
8. They repeat the activity until the water finished
9. Record the findings in task sheets

Exercise

Container , Non standard units , Standard units
A - SMALL SIZE BEAKER (500ML) B- BIG SIZE BEAKER (2000ML)

A holds __________ water than B.
The big beaker holds ________ml of water.
Beaker B holds ________l of water
A - SMALL TEA POT (250ML) B - BIG TEA POT (750ML)
B holds __________ water than A.
A holds ________ml of water.
B holds ________l of water
X - SMALL CURRY POT (1500ML) Y - BIG CURRY POT ( 3500ML)

X holds __________ water than Y.
X holds ________ml of water.
Y holds ________l of water
