Share a Supplied Liquid Volume Equally

Supplied materials

• Paper and a pencil; drawing and spoken explanations are welcome. An adult may read directions and options aloud.
• Supplied worked-case record: A fictional tank has 18 liters allocated equally among six containers.
• All quantities and shape descriptions are supplied in the worked example and questions; no purchase or personal information is needed.

Learn the idea

Liquid volume describes how much space liquid occupies. Equal sharing asks how much volume belongs in each container. Use the same stated unit and divide the total by the number of equal shares. A container’s drawn height does not replace the supplied volume measurement.

List the total liters and number of equal containers. Divide to find liters per container and check by multiplying back. The exercise uses supplied fictional quantities; there is no need to pour or measure anything physically.

Label the quotient as liters per container. Container count and liquid volume are different quantities. Draw equal container boxes and distribute the stated total as labeled volumes.

1. Draw equal container boxes and distribute the stated total as labeled volumes.
2. Follow the worked example. Point to each number or shape feature and say what it tells you.
3. List the total liters and number of equal containers.
4. Try the question and then the three practice questions. Check your answers and explain any change you make.
