Measurement 3 - Reading a Measuring Cup
Read each measurement and write the value in the blank.
Practice and check
Worked example
Find the two labeled levels around the water. Between them, estimate; the listed value is the drawing input, not laboratory precision.
0 < 200 < 250 mL
Use an estimate between labeled lines.
Check answers after trying
1: 200 mL; 2: 500 mL; 3: 750 mL; 4: 300 mL; 5: 900 mL; 6: 450 mL; 7: 650 mL; 8: 1000 mL
Use an estimate between labeled lines.
Tips for Parents
▸ Practice and check The jug is marked up to 1000 mL, with labels every 250 mL. Some pictures, such as 500 mL, land on a labeled line. Others, such as the intended 450 mL example, sit between labels and need an estimate. Find the surrounding 250 and 500 first, then discuss how near the water is to 500. The intended amount is not always recoverable exactly from a small drawing with no intervening graduations. ▸ Worked example 0 < 200 < 250 mL ▸ Check answers after trying Use an estimate between labeled lines. ▸ Next worksheet Reading Volume.
