Lesson Plan for Low Achievers
How to Measure and Compare Volume of Liquid
Activity 1 : Using non-standard units
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of the lesson, pupils will be able to measure and compare volume of liquids by using non-standard units correctly.
Prior Knowledge:
Pupils had learnt how to compare objects: more or less, many or a few, high or low during their previous lesson while learning A Whole Numbers.
Teaching Aids:
- 5 various small containers of different sizes
- A small water cup.

2. Appoint one student to be the recorder in each group to record their findings.
3. Give each group 5 set of containers of different sizes, a pail of water and a small water cup as the measurement tool.
4. Each group will record the number of cups needed to fill the water in every containers which provided to them.
* Also teach the pupils estimation such as half full, full and empty
Conclusion;
For this activities pupils will bear in mind that the volume of liquid will be determined based on the containers used. The bigger the containers the more quantities of water is needed to fill in.
