About this worksheet

Mass tells how heavy something is, and liquid volume tells how much a container holds. In the metric system mass is measured in grams (g) and kilograms (kg), and liquid volume in milliliters (mL) and liters (L). A paper clip is about one gram, and a dog is about twenty kilograms; a spoon of medicine is about five milliliters, and a bathtub holds about a hundred and fifty liters.

On this worksheet your child reads twelve sentences with a measure and a missing unit, and writes the unit that makes sense. Building Confidence uses things children know well, On Level adds foods and containers, and Challenge Me uses less familiar amounts. Ask your child to find a gram, a kilogram, a milliliter and a liter in the kitchen.

What your child will learn

  • Choose grams or kilograms for the mass of an object
  • Choose milliliters or liters for the volume of a container
  • Estimate how heavy or how full everyday things are

Common Core standard: 3.MD.A.2
