Comparing CapaCiTiEs

We use the words ‘more’ and ‘less’ to compare the capacities of containers.

the capacities of these containers. fill each container full of water. Pour the water

We see that the jug is bigger than the into two identical bottles and then compare.

cup. That means a bigger container

one. Experiential Learning

Look at the following containers.

water. Here, the bucket is bigger

than the mug. The jug contains more water than the cup.
