About this worksheet
Liquid volume tells how much a container holds, and we measure it in liters (L). Mass tells how heavy something is, measured in grams (g) for light things and kilograms (kg) for heavy things. A liter of water fills a large water bottle, a paper clip is about 1 gram, and a big dictionary is about 1 kilogram.
Each version has three containers to read: one marked every liter, one labelled every 2 liters, and one labelled every 10 liters with a mark every 5. The water always stops on an unlabelled mark on the last two, so students must work out the value of each mark. Then they read a gram dial, a kilogram dial and a pan balance with gram weights. Two one-step word problems add, subtract, multiply or divide with the same units, and the operations change between versions.
