About Mathematics

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?”
