National Curriculum Objectives

Mathematics Year 3: (3M9d) Measure, compare, add and subtract: lengths (m/cm/mm); mass (kg/g); volume/capacity (l/ml)

Differentiation:

Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support comparing the capacity of two containers. Using the same unit of measure in ml or L and using multiples of 1, 10 and 100. Using most or least to compare.
Expected Questions to support comparing the capacity of two containers. Using some mixed units of measure, ml and L, in multiples of 1, 10, 50 and 100. Using most or least to compare and the inequality symbols <, >.
Greater Depth Questions to support comparing the capacity of two containers. Using mixed units of measure, ml and l, in multiples of 1, 10, 50 and 100, with some presented as fractions or as all one measure ie. 2,500ml. Using most, least and equal to compare, and the inequality symbols <, > and =.

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Problem Solving)
Developing Use given limitations to share a given volume (of up to 20ml) between 3 containers.
Expected Use given limitations (involving <, > and =) to share a given volume (of up to 50ml or 50L) between 3 containers.
Greater Depth Use given limitations (involving <, > and =) to share a given volume (of up to 60ml or 60L) between 3 containers.

Questions 2, 5 and 8 (Reasoning)
Developing Explain if a child has made an error in describing exchanging amounts of liquid between containers of differing capacities. Questions are limited to understanding capacity of multiples of 10.
Expected Explain if a child has made an error in describing exchanging amounts of liquid between containers of differing capacities. Knowledge of multiples of 5 and 10 required.
Greater Depth Explain if a child has made an error in describing exchanging amounts of liquid between containers of differing capacities. Knowledge of multiples of 4, 5 and 10 required.

Questions 3, 6 and 9 (Reasoning)
Developing Explain a misconception regarding the capacity of different containers. Scales with increments of 1 or 10 units.
Expected Explain a misconception regarding the capacity of different containers.  Scales with increments using multiples of 10 or 100 units.
Greater Depth Explain a misconception regarding the capacity of different containers. Scales’ increments will vary, including some fractions or all as one measure, e.g. 2,500ml.
