Filling and Lifting introduces capacity (‘Filling’) and weight (‘Lifting’) through Chintu’s juice-glass challenge, Ritu’s milk glasses, and balancing fruits on a two-pan balance. Students compare how much liquid different vessels hold using a 1-litre bottle, and compare how heavy objects are against a 1-kilogram salt packet as well as half-kg and quarter-kg weights.
What Class 3 Mathematics Chapter 11 Covers
Comparing Capacity: Pouring water or milk into equal-sized glasses, bowls, jugs and buckets
Measuring with 1 Litre: Identifying vessels that hold more than, less than or about 1 litre
Heavy and Light (Weight): Estimating weight by lifting in both hands and using a two-pan balance
Measuring with 1 Kilogram: Balancing everyday items against 1 kg, half kg and quarter kg weights
Exercises in Chapter 11
- Let us Discuss & Let us Do (Pages 139–144): Compare capacities of glasses, jugs and buckets and classify vessels around 1 litre.
- Let us Explore & Let us Think (Pages 144–149): Balance objects on a pan balance, compare weights with a 1 kg packet and solve capacity/weight puzzles.

FAQ
Does a taller glass always hold more water than a wider glass?
No. Capacity depends on both height and width; pouring both into identical glasses or a measuring jug shows which holds more.
How many half-kilogram packets balance a 1-kilogram weight?
Two half-kilogram packets balance 1 kilogram.
