We learnt how to measure and compare volumes of various containers using non-standard volume units. We measured our containers using the building, stacking and place value blocks.
At the end of our activity, we agreed that we needed a standard unit of volume to get the same results. We noticed that it became difficult to communicate and compare results with others that used different units.
We had to use the same size blocks to get the same results!
Without standard units of measurement, people would have a huge problem understanding what other people were saying and measuring. 😀
We are Year 3 and 4 Learners at Glen Taylor School in Auckland, New Zealand and our teacher is Ms Elena.
