What’s included in the Year 5 Estimate Capacity Homework resource and why is it useful?

Year 5 Estimate Capacity Homework is a set of worksheets to consolidate this step after it has been taught, at home or in class. Each set has been carefully designed to help you meet each child where they are at to ensure progress for every child, not just the average child. The content includes 3 levelled worksheets and a full answer sheet, covering estimating the capacity of containers and how much liquid has been removed, using fractions.

Developing

• Q1 estimating the capacity of a container by how much liquid has been removed, volumes in multiples of 100ml.
• Q2 estimating how much volume has been lost from the capacity of the vessel. Volumes in multiples of 100ml.
• Q3 explaining if an estimation is correct using knowledge of fractions. Volumes in multiples of 100ml and given amount is roughly one fifth of the capacity.

Expected

• Q4 estimating the capacity of a container by how much liquid has been removed, volumes in multiples of 50ml.
• Q5 estimating how much volume has been lost from the capacity of the vessel. Volumes in multiples of 50ml.
• Q6 explaining if an estimation is correct. Volumes in multiples of 50ml and given amount is roughly one tenth of the capacity.

Greater Depth

• Q7 estimating the capacity of a container which has had two lots of liquid removed, volumes in multiples of 5ml.
• Q8 estimating how much volume has been lost from the capacity of the vessel. Volumes in multiples of 5ml.
• Q9 explaining if an estimation is correct. Volumes in multiples of 5ml and given amount is roughly one eleventh of the capacity.

How do our maths homework resources work?

Our maths homework resources are not part of our adaptive maths resources, but they can be used alongside for consolidation purposes and to give children more opportunities to practise.
