Max Maths, Year 2, Work Book, Units of volume

In the Max Maths workbook for Year 2, students delve into the concept of volume through engaging practice exercises. Practice 2 focuses on units of volume, challenging students to recognize and compare different volumes of liquid. The first task asks students to identify which container holds more than 1 litre of liquid from a selection of containers with various volumes stated in millilitres (ml). They must tick the box under the correct container, applying their understanding that 1,000 ml is equivalent to 1 litre.

The workbook continues with an activity where students write down the volume of liquid in each measuring cylinder, with the scales marked in millilitres or litres. This exercise helps to reinforce their ability to read different scales and record volume accurately. Another task involves converting volumes between litres and millilitres, requiring the students to demonstrate their knowledge of the relationship between these units. For example, they convert given volumes such as 5 litres to millilitres, and vice versa, such as 2,430 ml to litres and millilitres. This section of the workbook is designed to build confidence in measuring and converting volumes, an essential skill in everyday life and scientific contexts.
