Measuring Volume Of Liquid : Introduction


Mathematics is an important subject that every student must master. We need Mathematics in every activity that we do in our daily life. We need to count the money at the cashier, we need to estimate which product is a bargain in the supermarket, we need to estimate the amount of fuel that we use etc.
This is one of the reasons that we need to start learning Mathematics from an early age. In our early childhood we have been exposed to basic mathematical concept. Capacity of the container is one of the basic mathematical ideas that students need to learn.
Most of the time students will relate the size of the object such as height and diameter with the capacity of the object. Most of the time, this estimation would be correct. However, when we are comparing container with different shapes, this kind of observation might not get the correct answer.
