Did you know...
‘Full’ and ‘empty’ are
about measurement. Having lots of experiences using words such as ‘full’,
‘half a cup’ and ‘empty’ can help children learn that measuring how much is
about capacity.
Activity: Bake a birthday
cake with your children and ask them to help you measure the ingredients.
“It is mummy’s birthday,
let’s make a birthday cake for her. We need two cups of plain flour. Can you
fill the cup right to the top please?
“We need half a cup of
milk too. Can you pour it slowly into this empty jug and stop when it reaches
this line that says ½?”
