Filling and Lifting
The chapter 'Filling and Lifting' introduces Class 3 students to the concepts of capacity, volume, and measurement of liquids. Students learn how different containers hold different amounts of water or milk, using standard and non-standard units like glasses, mugs, litres, and millilitres. This chapter matters for the Maharashtra board exams as it builds foundational practical math skills, teaching children how to compare quantities, solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of liquid measures, and understand everyday measurements used at home and in science.

Capacity
Capacity is the total amount of liquid that a container can hold when it is completely full.
Standard Units of Measurement
Litres (l) and millilitres (ml) are standard units used to measure how much liquid something contains.
Comparing Volumes
We can find out which container holds more or less liquid by pouring water from one to another or by reading their capacity labels.
Addition and Subtraction of Capacity
We can add or subtract volumes in litres and millilitres just like normal numbers to solve word problems, making sure the units are the same.

Board Exam Info
In the Maharashtra (MSBSHSE) 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), word problems on adding and subtracting quantities of liquids, and identifying which container holds more or less.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should we use millilitres instead of litres?
We use millilitres to measure small quantities of liquid, like medicine syrup or ink in a pen, and litres for large quantities like a bucket of water or milk.
How do I convert litres into millilitres?
To convert litres into millilitres, you multiply the number of litres by 1000, because 1 litre equals 1000 millilitres.
Can we add litres and millilitres directly?
No, you must first convert them so that both quantities are in the same unit (either both in litres or both in millilitres) before adding them.
