Outcomes

3.1.4.1

use metric units of volume (cubic millimetres, cubic centimetres, cubic metres), their abbreviations (mm^3, cm^3, m^3), conversions between them and appropriate choices of units

3.1.4.2

understand and use the relationship between volume and capacity, recognising that 1 cm3 = 1 mL (millilitre), 1000 cm3 = 1 L (litre), 1 m3 = 1 kL (kilolitre), 1000 kL = 1ML (megalitre)

3.1.4.3

estimate volume and capacity of various objects
