Lesson Notes
  • Provide each pair with a copy of activity sheets A and B and ask the focus questions.
  • Direct pairs to carry out each task so that each partner agrees how full to draw each jug.
  • Provide pairs with the opportunity to share some of their drawings with the class.
ReflectionsAsk: How do you know when something is half-empty? How is half-empty and half-full the same? can a jug that is nearly empty have more water in it than a glass that is full?
