Max Maths, Year 3, Try it, Adding and subtracting volumes (1)

In this Year 3 maths exercise from Max Maths, students are encouraged to practice their skills in adding and subtracting volumes. The 'Try it' section provides a clear and straightforward task for the young learners. In the first activity, they are asked to find the total volume of two given amounts. Each amount is represented visually with measurements in millilitres (ml), allowing students to add the values together to calculate the combined volume. This activity not only reinforces their addition skills but also helps them understand the concept of volume and its measurement in a practical context.

The second activity focuses on subtraction and requires students to find the difference in volume between two amounts. Again, the volumes are presented in millilitres, and students must subtract the smaller amount from the larger one to determine the difference in volume. This task helps to develop their numerical reasoning and subtraction skills, as well as their understanding of how volumes can be compared and contrasted. The exercises are designed to be engaging and accessible, providing a solid foundation for grasping the principles of volume in a fun and interactive way.
