Class 4 Maths - BIHAR
Weigh it Pour it
The chapter 'Weigh it Pour it' in Class 4 Mathematics helps students understand the practical concepts of measurement, specifically weight (mass) and volume (capacity). Students learn to read weighing scales, compare heavy and light objects, and measure liquids using standard units like kilograms, grams, litres, and millilitres. This chapter builds a strong foundation for everyday problem-solving and higher-grade mathematics. In the Bihar Board (BSEB) exams, conceptual clarity in conversion and addition of weights and capacities is frequently tested through word problems, making it a crucial scoring topic for young learners.

Units of Weight
Weight is measured in grams (g) for lighter things and kilograms (kg) for heavier things like a bag of rice.
Units of Capacity
Capacity tells us how much liquid a container can hold, measured in millilitres (mL) and litres (L).
Conversion of Kilograms to Grams
To convert kilograms to grams, we multiply the number of kilograms by 1000, since 1 kg equals 1000 g.
Conversion of Litres to Millilitres
To convert litres to millilitres, we multiply the number of litres by 1000, as 1 L equals 1000 mL.
Addition and Subtraction of Measurement
We can add or subtract weights and volumes by keeping units (like kg and g, or L and mL) properly aligned.

Board Exam Info
In the Bihar (BSEB) Class 4 Mathematics examination, this chapter typically carries around 6 to 8 marks. Common question types include converting grams to kilograms, adding different liquid capacities, and solving simple word problems based on shopping for groceries or milk.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert kilograms into grams?
To convert kilograms into grams, simply multiply the given kilogram value by 1000.
Why do we use millilitres instead of litres?
Millilitres are used to measure very small quantities of liquid, like cough syrup or ink, whereas litres are used for larger amounts like water in a bucket.
How many 500g packets make 2 kilograms?
Since 1 kg has two 500g packets, 2 kg will need four 500g packets (2 x 2 = 4).
