and understanding and
the vocabulary they have related to
measurement of volume and capacity
through their daily life experiences,
involve them in activities to get a feel of
filling a given space and to measure it
by just counting the unit items that fill it
completely. This will also help them in
deciding why a cube is taken as a unit of
measuring volume.
