More or Less Than 1L

Worksheet Description

This worksheet presents a series of illustrations depicting different containers, each paired with the options “Yes” and “No.” The task for the students is to circle “Yes” if they believe the object can hold more than 1 liter of liquid, or “No” if they think the object cannot. The images include a variety of everyday items, such as a bucket, a cup, and a flask, offering students a range of shapes and sizes to assess. The simple format encourages quick decision-making and visual estimation of volume.

The worksheet is designed to develop the students’ ability to estimate and understand the concept of liquid capacity, particularly focusing on the metric unit of liters. It encourages students to visualize and compare the capacity of various objects to a standard metric volume. This activity is an exercise in critical thinking and approximation, key skills in mathematics and science. Furthermore, it lays the groundwork for understanding measurement units and their practical applications in everyday life, such as in cooking or filling containers.
