Measurement 6 - Reading a Measuring Cup (Bigger Scale)
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 < 400 < 500 mL
Use an estimate between labeled lines.
Check answers after trying
1: 400 mL; 2: 1200 mL; 3: 1800 mL; 4: 600 mL; 5: 1500 mL; 6: 900 mL; 7: 300 mL; 8: 1700 mL
Use an estimate between labeled lines.
Tips for Parents
▸ Practice and check This jug reaches 2000 mL and its labeled lines are 500 mL apart. The activity uses milliliters, not quarter-cup or half-cup units. Read a level at 1500 directly from its line. For the intended 1200 mL example, work within the gap from 1000 to 1500. It is below the halfway point of that gap. A similar-looking jug can have a different scale, so check its labels before borrowing the step size from the previous page. ▸ Worked example 0 < 400 < 500 mL ▸ Check answers after trying Use an estimate between labeled lines. ▸ Next worksheet Reading Volume.
