After we had PE with Ms. Yustin. Check out her blog

After PE we had math today for math we learned about capacity. We learned about estimating and measuring capacity in litres.

We started off introducing this new unit of measurement litres also written as L. (Must be a capital)

We looked at what litres meant and containers we have seen them on such as the milk cartons at the grocery store, juice boxes, etc.

We used the laundry detergent container as our benchmark container since it is 1L.

We estimated if it would fill up the shallow dish, which holds 1.5 L
Some students estimated that the water inside the laundry detergent would spill over the shallow dish  but when we poured it in we actually had a lot of room left over for more liquid!

So we learned that sometimes things can be shallow and wide but have the same or greater capacity as something long a narrow.

After we looked at a milk carton which was about 2L. Students estimated if the laundry detergent would spill over, fill it up perfectly, or not fill it up at all. Since we know 2L is bigger students were able to make valid predictions and the water only filled up to halfway.

We then looked at a protein bottle that held 700mL and estimated again if it would spill over, fill it up perfectly, or not fill it up at all. We knew that 700mL is less so we estimated that there would be some water left over after we filled the protein bottle.

One litre from the TIDE bottle was emptied into the protein bottle which was 700mL and the rest was either spilled on the table or in the dish.



After our hands students learned how to read liquid in a capacity. We must get eye level to the container on a level surface or else our reading will be inaccurate.

We learned that 4 glasses would equal 1 L. So if it's recommended to drink 8 glasses of water a day that's 2L. 10L would be 40 cups. Multiplying the amount given in L by 4. The doubling strategy helps us for question 3 on the worksheet because we need to figure out how many glasses make 18L so we can figure out 9L and then double it.
1L=4 glasses
2L=8 classes
...continue counting on by 4's or multiplying by 4
9L=36 glasses

18L=72 glasses (doubled 36)

We then talked about what makes more sense?

1L  or 5L for a teapot
2L or 24L for a jug of lemonade
4L or 25L for a fish tank

We know that 1L is 1000mL and will be learning more about milliliters tomorrow.

After we worked on our worksheets.

After lunch we practiced for our oral competition. Students are getting the opportunity to practice in front of the whole class and receive two stars and a wish in preparation for next week.

Then we had music with Mr. Oliver and French with Mme. Stella.

After second recess we worked on our UOI summative.
Students are working towards creating their made up holiday and presenting on Thursday.
