Class 3 Maths Chapter 11 Revision Notes: Filling and Lifting

Chapter type: Measurement — capacity and weight, introducing standard units.

Key ideas to remember:

Capacity xe2x80x94 how much a container can hold, measured in litres (L) or millilitres (mL).

Litre and millilitre xe2x80x94 standard units of capacity; 1 litre = 1000 millilitres.

Kilogram and gram xe2x80x94 standard units of weight; 1 kilogram = 1000 grams.

Estimating the right unit xe2x80x94 choosing litres/kilograms for larger amounts, and millilitres/grams for smaller amounts.

What you should be able to do after this chapter:

1. Compare the capacity of two containers to say which holds more.
2. Choose the correct standard unit (litre/millilitre, or kilogram/gram) for a given real-life object.
3. Explain the relationship between litres and millilitres, and between kilograms and grams.

Remember: 1 litre = 1000 millilitres, and 1 kilogram = 1000 grams — these two facts are the key numbers to remember from this chapter and come up again in later measurement work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to convert between litres and millilitres in this chapter?
This chapter mainly builds familiarity with the units and when to use them; detailed conversion calculations are usually developed further in later classes.

How does this chapter connect to Class 2?
It replaces the non-standard units (handspans, direct comparison) from Class 2’s Rani’s Gift with proper standard units — litres, millilitres, kilograms, and grams.
