Convert Units of Capacity

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to practice the conversion between liters and milliliters, which are standard units of volume in the metric system. It lists a series of twelve numerical values, each labeled with either “L” for liters or “mL” for milliliters, that students are asked to convert into the alternate unit. The format is straightforward, with each conversion problem followed by a blank space for the student to write their answer. The worksheet alternates between requiring students to convert from liters to milliliters and vice versa.

The worksheet’s purpose is to teach students how to convert between different metric units of capacity, specifically between liters and milliliters. It reinforces the concept that 1 liter is equivalent to 1000 milliliters, which is a critical factor in performing these conversions. Through this exercise, students will enhance their understanding of metric volume units and improve their mathematical calculation skills. This conversion practice is fundamental in various scientific and everyday contexts, such as cooking, measuring liquids, and understanding beverage containers.
