A bright and engaging set of 8 Capacity Anchor Charts designed for pupils working within First Level Curriculum for Excellence.
This colourful, child-friendly resource helps learners develop a secure understanding of capacity through clear explanations, visual examples and practical contexts. Pupils are supported to understand how much a container can hold, describe containers as full or empty, measure using non-standard units, use litres and millilitres, estimate capacity, and compare and order different amounts.
The posters are ideal for maths working walls, classroom displays, whole-class teaching, guided maths and independent pupil reference.
