Comprehensive No Prep Metric Volume and Capacity Unit - Inquiry, Hands-On
By Mark Holmes
Introducing a complete, 9-lesson inquiry-based unit plan for Grade 6 students, focusing on the concepts of volume and capacity. This comprehensive unit aligns with the PYP framework and includes all necessary worksheets and materials, making it easy for teachers to implement engaging, hands-on learning experiences in their classrooms.
What's included:
- 9 detailed lesson plans with clear objectives, materials lists, and step-by-step instructions
- 53 page slide set
- Printable worksheets for each lesson, including:
- Volume exploration worksheets
- Volume calculation practice sheets
- Real-world problem-solving tasks
- Reflection and self-assessment prompts
- Summative assessment materials to evaluate student understanding
- Extension activities and differentiation suggestions
- Teacher notes and background information on key concepts
Key learning outcomes:
- Understand and define volume and capacity
- Identify and convert between volume units (mL, L, kL, cm³, m³)
- Estimate and measure the volume of various containers and objects
- Calculate the volume of rectangular prisms using the formula V = l × w × h
- Differentiate between volume and capacity
- Relating volume to mass
- Apply volume concepts to real-world problem-solving scenarios
Hands-on learning:
This unit encourages students to explore volume and capacity through engaging, hands-on activities using everyday objects like bottles, cartons, and plastic containers. Teachers will need to collect these items and have measuring jugs & kitchen scales available for students to use during the lessons.
With this comprehensive unit plan, teachers will have all the resources they need to guide students through an immersive, inquiry-based learning experience that deepens their understanding of volume and capacity and helps them apply these concepts to real-world situations.
Real-Life Math fun exercise! Trigonometric Ratios and Applying it to Real Life
By Daniel
It is always a good strategy to review essential skills with your students.
This resource (task with complete answer key) takes students through the exciting discovery of the trigonometric ratios sine, cosine and tangent. It solidifies some essential algebraic skills with ratios and fractions. It helps students practice problems with the trig ratios and memorize each ratio.
