Worksheet for teaching capacity and volume measurement using real-life container examples.

Problem: Measuring Capacity and Volume Worksheet

#### Step-by-Step Solution:

---

Question 1: Compare the containers and circle the one with the largest capacity.

#### Part (a):
- Left container: A large bottle of cola.
- Right container: A small cup with a straw.
- Comparison: The cola bottle is significantly larger than the cup, so it has a larger capacity.

Answer: Circle the cola bottle.

#### Part (b):
- Left container: A green backpack.
- Right container: A red suitcase.
- Comparison: The suitcase is much larger than the backpack, so it has a larger capacity.

Answer: Circle the suitcase.

#### Part (c):
- Left container: A small yellow cup with polka dots.
- Right container: A teapot.
- Comparison: The teapot is much larger than the cup, so it has a larger capacity.

Answer: Circle the teapot.

Question 2: Circle the container that is holding the largest volume.

#### Part (a):
- Left container: A jar filled with colorful candies.
- Right container: Another jar filled with colorful candies.
- Comparison: Both jars appear to be the same size and are filled to the same level. Therefore, they hold the same volume.

Answer: Circle either jar (both are correct).

#### Part (b):
- Left container: A bottle filled with orange liquid.
- Right container: Another bottle filled with orange liquid.
- Comparison: Both bottles appear to be the same size and are filled to the same level. Therefore, they hold the same volume.

Answer: Circle either bottle (both are correct).

#### Part (c):
- Left container: A glass filled with brown liquid (possibly tea or coffee).
- Right container: A glass filled with pink liquid (possibly juice or soda).
- Comparison: Both glasses appear to be the same size and are filled to the same level. Therefore, they hold the same volume.

Answer: Circle either glass (both are correct).

Question 3: Circle the unit of measurement you would use to measure the capacity of the containers below.

#### Part (a): Bathtub
- Options: ml / l
- Reasoning: A bathtub holds a very large amount of water, typically measured in liters (l).

Answer: Circle "l".

#### Part (b): Spoon
- Options: ml / l
- Reasoning: A spoon holds a very small amount of liquid, typically measured in milliliters (ml).

Answer: Circle "ml".

#### Part (c): Trash Can
- Options: ml / l
- Reasoning: A trash can holds a moderate amount of waste, typically measured in liters (l).

Answer: Circle "l".

#### Part (d): Suitcase
- Options: ml / l
- Reasoning: A suitcase is used for storing items and is not meant to hold liquids. However, if we consider its capacity for liquids, it would be measured in liters (l).

Answer: Circle "l".

#### Part (e): Bowl
- Options: ml / l
- Reasoning: A bowl holds a moderate amount of liquid, typically measured in liters (l).

Answer: Circle "l".

#### Part (f): Glass
- Options: ml / l
- Reasoning: A glass holds a small amount of liquid, typically measured in milliliters (ml).

Answer: Circle "ml".
