Class 3 Maths - ANDHRA-PRADESH
Filling and Lifting
The chapter 'Filling and Lifting' introduces Class 3 students of the Andhra Pradesh (BSEAP) board to the fundamental concepts of volume, capacity, and heavy lifting. Students learn how to measure liquids using standard and non-standard units like cups, glasses, jugs, and liters. They explore practical activities such as finding out how many small vessels can fill a big container and understanding which objects are heavy to lift and which are light. This chapter builds a strong foundation in measurement and practical math, which is very important for scoring well in school examinations and handling daily life tasks.

Capacity
Capacity is the amount of liquid a container can hold. For example, a bucket holds more water than a mug.
Standard Units of Measurement
Liters (l) and milliliters (ml) are standard units used to measure liquids like milk, water, and oil accurately.
Non-Standard Units
Using everyday items like cups, spoons, and bottles to measure and compare how much liquid different containers hold.
