📏 Part 1: Understanding Capacity Units

1. Circle the most appropriate unit for measuring each item:

a) A teaspoon of medicine

Litres (L)

Millilitres (mL)

b) A swimming pool

Litres (L)

Millilitres (mL)

c) A milk bottle

Litres (L)

Millilitres (mL)

2. Fill in the missing conversion:

1 litre = _________ millilitres

🔄 Part 2: Converting Between Units

3. Convert these measurements. Show your working:

a) 3.5 L = _________ mL

b) 2500 mL = _________ L

c) 0.75 L = _________ mL

d) 4200 mL = _________ L

4. Which is larger? Circle your answer and explain your reasoning:

2500 mL or 2.6 L

2500 mL

2.6 L

They are equal

Explain your reasoning:

🧮 Part 3: Real-Life Problem Solving

5. A recipe calls for 1.2 L of water. You only have a 250 mL measuring cup. How many times will you need to fill the measuring cup?

6. A juice bottle holds 750 mL. How many such bottles are needed to fill a 3 L container?

7. You are organising drinks for your class of 30 students. Each student needs 300 mL of juice. How many litres of juice do you need in total?

📊 Part 4: Estimation and Comparison

8. Estimate the capacity of these common items. Choose from the options given:

Options: 330 mL, 600 mL, 1 L, 2 L, 5 L

a) A soft drink can: _________

b) A water bottle: _________

c) A milk bottle: _________

d) A large juice bottle: _________

e) A bucket: _________

9. Order these measurements from smallest to largest:

3.2 L, 2800 mL, 0.5 L, 4500 mL, 1.9 L

Smallest: _________ → _________ → _________ → _________ → _________ :Largest

💭 Part 5: Reflection and Reasoning

10. Explain when you would use litres instead of millilitres for measuring capacity:

11. A container is labelled as holding "1500 mL". Write this measurement in litres and explain which unit would be more convenient to use and why:

1500 mL = _________ L

12. Check all the statements that are correct:

1000 mL = 1 L

0.5 L = 500 mL

2.5 L = 250 mL

3000 mL = 3 L

1.25 L = 1250 mL
