Max Maths, Year 3, Practice, Review of units of volume

In the 'Max Maths' Year 3 practice review, students are invited to consolidate their understanding of volume units through a series of engaging exercises. The first task requires pupils to identify which containers hold more than 1 litre of liquid. They are presented with a selection of containers with different volumes listed, such as 2 litres, 5 litres, 500 millilitres, and so on, and they must place a tick in the box under the containers that exceed the 1-litre mark. This activity helps students visualise and compare different volumes, enhancing their grasp of capacity and the relationship between litres and millilitres.

The second exercise focuses on conversions between litres and millilitres, a key skill in understanding volume measurements. Students are given various quantities in litres or millilitres and are asked to convert them to the alternate unit. For instance, they might be asked to convert 3 litres to millilitres or 5,000 millilitres to litres. Some conversions require combining litres with millilitres, such as converting 4 litres and 200 millilitres into just millilitres or vice versa. These conversion exercises are crucial for developing a flexible understanding of volume units, which is an essential part of the mathematics curriculum for Year 3. Students can find additional exercises and explanations on the workbook pages indicated to further reinforce their learning.
