P3 love to measure!

19th Feb 2026

Primary three had lots of fun in mathematics today. They enjoyed measuring volume in non-standard units. We measured the capacity of various objects using books, blocks, water and sand! Which box held the most books? Which tub holds the most bricks? How many spoons of sand does it take to fill an egg cup? How many ladles of sand does a pot hold? Lots of chat, measuring and fun had by all!
