LKS2 – Class 4 & 6 – Maths

Today in Maths we practiced adding and subtracting with capacity and volume. We used practical stories about Miss Nodding having 1 litre of coffee and Miss Wilson-Hill giving her different amounts of coffee – to begin adding amounts using both litres and millilitres. We then were given a litre of water and as a group we had to transport it along a line, between each group member. First, we did this by carefully carrying the litre and then by hopping with the litre! We used our subtraction and measurement skills to work out how many millilitres we had remaining and then used this information to work out how much water we had each lost.
