Mass and Capacity teacher Instructions

The booklet provided offers a comprehensive collection of activities tailored to Year 3 students, specifically addressing the curriculum objectives for Measures: Mass and Capacity. These objectives are clearly outlined at the top of each page, ensuring that teachers can easily identify the purpose of each activity. A variety of necessary equipment and resources are listed for each task, and the activities are categorised by symbols to indicate whether they are most appropriate for the whole class, smaller groups, or pairs of students.

Teachers are given the flexibility to incorporate these activities into their lesson plans in a way that best suits their class's needs. The activities can serve multiple functions within a lesson structure: they can be used at the start to review or assess previous learning, as the main activity to strengthen new concepts, or at the end of the lesson to evaluate students' progress. While these activities are designed to complement existing teaching materials, they are particularly beneficial for children in intervention groups who may require additional practice. The booklet also references other resources available on the KS2Gems website, such as Year 3 Measures Vocabulary, Simple Biscuit Recipes, and Measures Digit Cards, to further enhance the learning experience.
