Hello, Year 3 mathematicians! Today, we’re diving into a fascinating topic that you encounter every day—even if you don’t realise it! Are you ready to explore litres and millilitres?
To kick things off, let’s imagine that you’ve just received a package from a mysterious scientist named Professor Measure. Inside, you find a special bottle labelled "1 Litre of Liquid Gold". But wait! Professor Measure has also included a note with a puzzle:
“To unlock the secrets of this magical liquid, you must first understand how to measure it! This bottle contains just 1 litre, but can you figure out how many millilitres it holds? Remember, there are 1000 millilitres in a litre! Good luck!"
Litres (L): This is a larger unit of measure used for liquids. A litre can hold a significant amount of fluid, like a full bottle of water.
Millilitres (mL): This is a smaller unit for measuring liquids. It’s especially useful for things like measuring syrup for pancakes or juice for a fruit punch.
Here’s some quick information to help you:
Before we crack the code of Professor Measure’s puzzle, let's gather our measuring tools!
As we wrap up our introduction, here's the big question for you:
Let’s put on our thinking caps and get ready to uncover the magical world of litres and millilitres. Prepare for an exciting lesson ahead! 🎓✨
Now, grab your measuring tools and let's get started with today’s adventure in mathematics!
