Class 3 Maths - ODISHA
Filling and Lifting
The chapter 'Filling and Lifting' in Class 3 Mathematics introduces students to the fundamental concepts of capacity, measurement of liquids, and the comparison of volumes. Students learn how different containers hold different amounts of water, milk, or other liquids using standard and non-standard units like jugs, buckets, glasses, litres, and millilitres. This chapter matters greatly for Odisha BSE board exams as it builds essential real-life measurement skills and forms the base for word problems involving addition and subtraction of capacities, which frequently appear in term assessments and annual examinations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a litre and a millilitre?
A litre is used to measure large amounts of liquid (like a bucket of water), while a millilitre is used for very small amounts (like a spoonful of syrup).
How many millilitres make one litre?
1000 millilitres make exactly 1 litre.
Why do we use non-standard units like cups and glasses?
Non-standard units help young students easily understand the concept of volume and comparison before moving to exact standard units like litres.
