Measuring with Broad Beans

A community garden is preparing pots for broad beans. Use the measurements and clues on this page to help plan the planting. Length is measured in centimetres (cm); capacity is measured in millilitres (mL).

Part A: Seed lengths

Three broad bean seeds were measured from the zero mark of a ruler. Study the measurement table, then answer Questions 1–4.

Seed A: 3.2 cm

Seed B: 2.8 cm

Seed C: 3.5 cm

1.Which seed is the longest? Use its letter and measurement.
2.How much longer is Seed C than Seed B? Show the subtraction you used.
3.Put the three seed lengths in order from shortest to longest.

4.A seedling grew 4 cm in its first week and 3 cm in its second week. How many centimetres did it grow altogether?

Part B: Potting mix capacity

The garden team uses a measuring jug to portion potting mix. Remember: 1 litre (L) = 1,000 millilitres (mL).

Small pot: 250 mL

Large pot: 750 mL

5.How much potting mix is needed for one small pot and one large pot? Give your answer in mL.
6.Convert 1,000 mL to litres. Choose the correct answer.
  • 0.1 L
  • 1 L
  • 10 L
7.The team has a 2 L bag of potting mix. After filling two large pots with 750 mL each, how much mix remains?
8.Which tool is best for measuring 750 mL of potting mix: a ruler, a measuring jug, or a thermometer? Explain why.
9.A gardener says, “The seed is 3.5 mL long.” What is wrong with this measurement? Rewrite it correctly.
10.Plan a pot for a bean seedling: write one sensible length measurement and one sensible capacity measurement, each with the correct unit. Explain what each unit measures.
