CRASH! Down fell a chair and a desk. People are chatting, they can't wait to build their huts out of their class desks. It was a competition: Which hut had the biggest capacity to hold people? Capacity is how much a container or a hut can hold. But unfortunately one of the desks landed on my toe, so I didn't get to go in the hut that my group made. Whaea Aroha said this was maths, but I think this was too much fun to be maths!
We found out:
The capacity of a hut depends on how we put desks together.
Capacity is about the space inside a hut or container or 3D shape.
We use capacity all the time; Can I fit everything in my school bag?, baking, using our desks, packing our lunch in our lunch boxes,...
Can you think of a time when you use capacity?
