Understanding Capacity Through Practical Examples

The video tutorial introduces the concept of capacity to children using water and cups of different sizes. It demonstrates filling a cup to the brim and explores the differences in capacity between containers. The tutorial also explains the concept of overflowing when a container's capacity is exceeded, providing a practical and engaging way to understand these mathematical concepts.
