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 capacity (volume). Students learn how to read standard units like grams, kilograms, millilitres, and litres using everyday objects. They discover how to compare heavy and light objects, and how to measure liquids accurately. This chapter is very important for the Punjab (PSEB) board exams because it builds a strong foundation for real-life problem solving, addition and subtraction of metric measures, and scoring marks in word-problem questions.

Units of Weight
Weight is measured in grams (g) for lighter objects like a pencil and kilograms (kg) for heavier objects like a school bag.
Units of Capacity
Capacity is the amount a container can hold, measured in millilitres (ml) for small amounts like medicine and litres (l) for large amounts like milk.
Conversion of Kilograms to Grams
To convert kilograms into grams, we multiply the given kilogram value by 1000, since 1 kg equals 1000 g.
Conversion of Litres to Millilitres
To convert litres into millilitres, we multiply the litre value by 1000, because 1 litre equals 1000 ml.
Addition and Subtraction of Measures
We can add or subtract weights and capacities by keeping grams with grams, kilograms with kilograms, millilitres with millilitres, and litres with litres.
