This EYFS Measuring Using Capacity Learning Activity enables children to develop their understanding of capacity. Children will use vocabulary associated with capacity: full, half full, empty, nearly, most and least to explore the capacity of different containers that vary in size. Adults can reinforce and encourage the use of this vocabulary in everyday learning, for instance, filling cups in the water area.

It covers the following objective for children in reception:

Compare length, weight and capacity


Curriculum Objectives

  • There is no Early Learning Goal for shape, space and measures, but it is important that the curriculum includes rich opportunities for children to develop their spatial reasoning skills across all areas of mathematics
