Understanding ‘More’ and ‘Less’ in Capacity One of the key concepts in early measurement is distinguishing between capacity and size. Our Comparing Capacity Worksheet focuses on the concept of “Holds Less.”
More Than vs. Less Than This activity asks children to reverse their thinking from the previous worksheet.
- The Question: Instead of looking for the biggest container, they must find the one that holds the smallest amount.
- Real World Logic: Is a spoon larger or smaller than a bowl? Which one holds less soup?
- The Activity: In each row, circle the object that has the smaller capacity (holds less liquid or items).
