Our Year 1 Compare Capacity Practical Activities provide six engaging ideas for teaching capacity in a practical way. These could be displayed in your provision areas for self-directed learning, but could also be used in small groups as an intervention or a practical task within your main teaching. Take photos and display in your pupils' books to provide great evidence!

The opportunities are endless with this fantastic resource. Download now!
