=**Early Stage One** = ||
 * //**MES1.3: Compares the capacities of containers and the volumes of objects or substances using direct comparison.**//


 * Key ideas:**
 * Identify and describe the attributes of volume and capacity.
 * Compare the capacities of two containers by using direct comparison.
 * Compare the volumes of two objects by direct observation.
 * Record comparisons informally. ||

=Stage One = ||
 * //**MS1.3: Estimates, measures, compares and records volumes and capacities using informal units.**//


 * Key ideas:**
 * Use appropriate informal units to estimate and measure volume and capacity.
 * Compare and order the capacities of two or more containers and the volumes of two or more models or objects.
 * Record measurements by referring to the number and type of informal units used. ||

=Stage Two = ||
 * //**MS2.3: Estimates, measures, compares and records volumes and capacities using litres, millilitres and cubic centimetres.**//


 * Key ideas:**
 * Recognise the need for a formal unit to measure volume and capacity.
 * Estimate, measure, compare and record volumes and capacities using litres and millilitres.
 * Measure the volume of models in cubic centimetres.
 * Convert between litres and millilitres. ||

=**Stage Three** = ||
 * //**MS3.3: Selects and uses the appropriate unit to estimate and measure volume and capacity, including the volume of rectangular prisms.**//


 * Key ideas:**
 * Select the appropriate unit to measure volume and capacity.
