Max Maths, Year 1, Work Book, Comparing capacities

In the Max Maths Year 1 Workbook, young learners are introduced to the concept of comparing capacities through a series of engaging practice exercises. The activity starts on page 176 with "Practice 1: Comparing capacities," where children are asked to visually assess and compare the capacities of different objects. The first task requires students to draw a circle around the object that can hold more liquid or material, helping them to understand which container has a greater capacity. This exercise includes several sets of objects, labeled from (a) to (d), and encourages the children to observe and make comparisons based on size and shape.

On page 177, the activity continues with a similar task, but this time the children are asked to draw a square around the object that holds less, thereby identifying which container has a smaller capacity. This exercise also consists of several pairs or groups of objects, labeled from (a) to (d), and it further develops the children's ability to compare and contrast different volumes. As the workbook progresses to pages 178 and 179, the exercises become more varied, with children drawing around objects that are empty, full, or half-full. These tasks provide a practical and visual way for children to apply their understanding of capacity in different contexts, reinforcing their comprehension of the concept in a fun and interactive manner.
