Determining the starting point for instruction

The teacher has gained initial information about the students’ knowledge, skills and understanding in the Measurement Strand (Substrand: Volume and Capacity) from their Year 2 reports.

The students were recently assessed to determine their achievement in relation to Stage 1 and Stage 2 outcomes for the Volume and Capacity Substrand, and the starting point for instruction.

The assessment has indicated to the teacher that Sam can:

measure the capacity of a container by:

counting the number of times a smaller container can be filled and emptied into the container
filling the container with amounts measured in informal units and counting the number of units used

compare and order the capacities of two or more containers by:

filling one container and pouring the contents into another
pouring the contents of each of two containers into a third container and marking each level.
