What is Volume?

• Volume is the amount of space something takes up.
• Imagine putting a toy inside a box; the volume tells us how big the box needs to be.
• We often use units like litres or cubic centimetres to measure volume.

• Water in a glass:
  • If you fill the glass with water until it reaches the top, the water takes up space.
  • The volume of the glass shows how much water it can hold.


• Box of toys:
  • If you have a box for your toys, the volume tells you how many toys can fit inside.
  • A big box can hold more toys, while a small box holds fewer.


• Cup of flour:
  • When baking, you measure flour using volume.
  • A cup can hold a certain volume of flour needed for the recipe.
