Class 3 Maths - HARYANA
Filling and Lifting
The chapter Filling and Lifting in Class 3 Mathematics introduces young learners to the basic concepts of capacity, volume, and measurement of liquids. Students learn how different containers hold different amounts of liquid using non-standard units like cups, glasses, and jugs, and later move on to standard units like litres and millilitres. This chapter matters greatly for Haryana Board (BSEH) exams as it builds foundational real-life math skills, helping children compare quantities, understand heavy versus light objects, and solve everyday word problems related to filling and lifting liquids accurately.
Start Learning FreeKey Concepts
Capacity
Capacity is the total amount of liquid that a container can hold when it is completely full.
Standard Units of Measurement
Liquids are measured in standard units called Litres (l) for larger quantities and Millilitres (ml) for smaller quantities.
Comparing Volumes
We can find out which container holds more or less liquid by pouring water from one vessel into another.
Lifting and Heavy Loads
The chapter also helps students understand physical weight by learning how to lift containers filled with different amounts of water.
Conversion Basics
Understanding that 1 Litre is equal to 1000 Millilitres helps us solve simple liquid addition and subtraction problems.

Board Exam Info
In Haryana (BSEH) Class 3 Mathematics exams, this chapter typically carries around 4 to 6 marks. Common question types include filling in the blanks with appropriate units (litres or millilitres), comparing container capacities, and solving simple word problems on adding or subtracting liquid quantities.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many millilitres make one litre?
1000 millilitres make one complete litre.
Should we use litres or millilitres to measure a cup of tea?
We use millilitres (ml) because a cup holds a very small amount of liquid.
Why do we use different containers to measure water in this chapter?
Using different containers helps students visually understand how capacity works and compares different volumes of liquid.
