How to use it?

Page 1

• The first page is an ‘information sheet’ - introducing learners to what a ‘millilitre is, that ml is short for millilitre and what millilitres are used/useful for. One thousand squares have been used to visually demonstrate what one thousand ml would look like and so just how small one millilitre is. This may be useful to make the concept of one (or more) millilitres visually clear to learners.

Page 2

• The second page also shows one litre/one thousand millilitres visually - as 1000 blue squares and provides learners with the opportunity to count a limited number of ml and write what amount this would be (if water) as ml.

When completing the second page of this resource learners may need it to be made clear to them that each number of millilitres (orange, yellow, green and blue questions) is always part of the 1000 blue squares pictured on the whole sheet and not just the 100 blue squares that the orange/yellow/green/blue squares are illustrated as part of…

Visual representation

It is important to note that these squares are illustrations of millilitres shown to visually represent water and of course are not exact or equal to actual millilitres. Therefore illustrations in this resource are not to scale.
