This Year 5 Estimate Capacity Reasoning and Problem Solving resource will give your class the chance to consider further how knowing the volume of liquid in a container can be used to estimate its capacity.

This worksheet provides two reasoning questions and one problem solving question. The reasoning questions test children's understanding of capacity and give them the chance to use mathematical language to explain their ideas. In the problem solving question, they need to think of different ways to fill a large container using a variety of smaller containers.

Every question has two similar parts and there is an answer page to assist teachers and pupils who are marking their own work.

A varied fluency resource is also available for this small step.
