Primary 3/2 have been learning about litres and millilitres.

A few weeks we were trying to fill a 1 litre jug using different sized containers.

Today we we’re practising reading scales on different sized containers. We also counted how many times we had to use the 100ml jug to fill the 1 litre jug. It was 10 times which was a total of 1000ml.

We now know the 1000ml equals 1 litre.
