Measuring Quantities

Fun at maths today! We were fine tuning our measuring skills today - measuring liquid and volume.

It was interesting seeing how different shapes hold the same amount sometimes- or tall vessels don't always hold the most :)

Cubic Metre

We've worked out exactly how big a cubic metre is- a lot bigger than some thought!

We know that 1 metre = 100 centimetres and to find the volume we had to multiply length by width by height. 1m x 1m x 1m = 1 m³ or 100cm x 100cm x 100cm = 1,000,000 cm³ 

There are 1 million cubic centimetres in a cubic metre- wow!
