How to Use the Worksheet

1. Introduction to Capacity Comparison: Begin by introducing the concept of capacity comparison to students. Explain that capacity refers to the amount of space or substance that a container can hold. Show examples of different containers and discuss how their capacities can vary.

2. Engage in Visual Comparison: Distribute the "More or Less Capacity" worksheet to students, which features two objects with different capacities. Students visually compare the objects and determine which one holds more and which one holds less.

3. Writing Comparison Statements: After analyzing the objects, students write comparison statements to indicate which object has more or less capacity. For example, if comparing a cup and a pitcher, students may write, "The pitcher has more capacity than the cup" or "The cup has less capacity than the pitcher."

4. Discussion and Reflection: Encourage students to share their findings with the class. Facilitate a discussion where students explain their reasoning behind their comparisons. This allows for critical thinking and reinforces understanding.
