Young scientists determine the storage capacity of the school cistern and calculate the volume of water captured from the roof runoff during a rainstorm.

The history of math is fascinating! Utilize a woodcut primary source image from 1492 and posters from the 1930s to help geometers apply their volume-calculation skills to real-life questions. 

Do your students have what it takes to be the king of math? Find out with this fun skills practice game that covers a wide range of topics from counting and basic operations to measurement and fractions.

Youngsters engage in a relay race where they dip a sponge in water, run to a bucket, and squeeze out the sponge. They have five minutes to take turns transporting water to the goal. Whey the time is up, each team measures the total...

Upper graders convert liters and milliliters, choose the better estimates of capacity for objects, and choose the better unit to measure capacity. They solve eleven problems.

Here is a metric units of capacity conversion worksheet in which learners convert liters and milliliters of liquids. They solve twelve problems.

Elementary and middle schoolers identify different units of liquid measurement. They use the online Visual Thesaurus to learn about the relationships between units of liquid measurement.

Learners solve 14 word problems and 25 weight conversions.

Describe the process used to perform mathematic calculation on units of volume with this video. Sal clarifies what units of volume are, and then he demonstrates how to perform calculations using ounces, pints, quarts, and gallons.

Students identify how many smaller units can be found in a later unit. In this geometry instructional activity, students calculate the volume and the transfer amount to a smaller unit. They solve real life problems using the formula for...
