Class 4 Maths Chapter 8, Weigh It, Pour It, visits the vegetable market with Rita and Shabnam to explore standard units of mass (kilograms and grams) across different balances, and standard units of liquid capacity (litres and millilitres).
What Class 4 Mathematics Chapter 8 Covers
Weighing in Kilograms (kg) & Grams (g) at the Market compares beam balances, spring balances, and electronic scales; relates 1 kg = 1000 g (500 g = half kg, 250 g = quarter kg); and balances weights to buy vegetables.
Measuring Capacity — Litres (L) and Millilitres (mL) estimates and measures liquid volumes in spoons, cups, medicine droppers, and 1-litre bottles, converting between 1 L = 1000 mL, 500 mL, 250 mL, and 100 mL vessels.
