TEACHING AID (I)

LOW ACHIEVER STUDENTS

TITLE – GUESS WHAT?!.

In this lesson, students recognize and use the attributes of volume.  They engage in activities that promote understanding of how to measure and compare volume using non standard units.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Students will: Measure volume using non standard units Compare volume of liquids by using non-standard units correctly.

MATERIALS:
--- Measuring cup
--- Guessing worksheet
--- 4 glasses of equal size
--- Water (Coloured)

ACTIVITIES:

                     1. Divide students in group of five.

           2.Ask students pour water at different levels such as

a)      1/2 cup,

b)      1/3 cup,

c)      3/4 cup and

d)     1 cup into each glass.

                    3.Put the glasses next to each other.

     4.Ask Questions verbally to students by group.

    5.Ask students note down the exploration had made on Guessing Worksheet.

GUESSING WORKSHEET (QUESTIONS AND EXPLORATION):
> Ask the students these questions:
> Which glass has the most water?
> Which glass has the least amount of water?
> Which measurement is the most? 1/3, 1/2, 1/4 or 1 cup???
> Which is the least??


ESTIMATION QUESTIONS:
> How many glasses of the 1/2 cups would it take to equal 2 cups?
> How many of the 1/4 cups do you think it would take to equal 1 cup?

CONCLUSION:
For this activities pupil will bear in mind that the volume of liquid will be determined based on the height of water. The higher height capacity volume of water in same size containers the bigger quantities of water fill in.
