NCERT Solutions for Class 3 Mathematics Chapter Filling and Lifting

This worksheet for Class 3 Mathematics Chapter Filling and Lifting helps students understand the concepts of capacity and weight through simple activities and real-life examples. This worksheet provides complete and accurate NCERT Solutions based strictly on the chapter, making it useful for both practice and revision. It builds strong foundational skills by helping children compare quantities, measure using everyday objects, and understand heavier and lighter objects in a clear and engaging way.

Chapter summary: concepts and activities

This chapter is activity-based and helps students understand capacity and weight using simple, real-life situations. Students learn by comparing different containers, observing how much they can hold, and identifying heavier and lighter objects. The chapter includes hands-on activities like pouring liquids, using everyday items for measurement, and making observations. The main focus is on building a clear understanding of measurement through practical learning.

What this NCERT chapter covers?

• Understanding capacity using different containers  
• Comparing quantities like more, less, most, and least  
• Learning about litre, half litre, and quarter litre  
• Identifying heavier and lighter objects  
• Using non-standard units like ladles, bowls, and coins  
• Observing and measuring through real-life activities  

How to use these NCERT solutions?

Students should first try solving the questions on their own and then use these solutions to check their answers. Parents and teachers can guide children while doing activity-based questions. The solutions follow the exact NCERT order and structure, which helps in proper revision and ensures that students understand each concept clearly without confusion.

Student tips & learning tricks

Students should carefully observe pictures before answering questions. While doing activities, they should focus on comparing and understanding rather than memorising answers. A common mistake is assuming bigger objects always hold more or are heavier, so careful observation is important. Using real-life examples at home can make learning easier and more effective.

Why are NCERT solutions important?

NCERT Solutions help students build strong basics in mathematics by following the exact CBSE pattern. They improve understanding, accuracy, and confidence in solving questions. These solutions also help students prepare better for exams by providing clear and correct answers aligned with NCERT guidelines.

Let us discuss.

1. Ritu  
2. Nita  
3.  
a. Less  
b. More  
c. More  
4. 
a. Ritu  
b. Nita  

Chintu does not take the challenge because the glasses are bigger, so he will have to drink more juice. It will be difficult for him.  

Yes, I can take the challenge if I use smaller glasses because I will have to drink less juice.  

Let us Do

Activity – Vessels

Explanation: Take a small bowl, glass, and bottle. First guess how many bowls fill the glass and how many glasses fill the bottle. Then pour water to check your guess.

1.  
a. The glass holds the least water.  
b. The bottle holds the most water.  

2. Bucket, tank, drum.  

Let us Do

1. Answers may vary depending on the size of the ladle, bowl, and jug.  
2. Answers may vary depending on the size of vessels used.  
3. Ladle  
4. Ladle, because it helps to pour equal amounts into each glass.  
5. Answers may vary based on the size of vessels used.  
6. Answers may vary based on the size of vessels used.  
7. Yes, we can use a ladle, bowl or glass to measure a jug by repeatedly filling and counting how many times it fills the jug. 

Let us discuss.

a. The glass holds less than 1 litre  
b. The bowl holds more than 1 litre  
c. Jug holds exactly 1 litre  

Let us think.

a. The mug holds half litre of water.  
b. The glass holds a quarter litre of water.  

Let us explore.

Explanation: Use a 1 litre bottle to compare and check the capacities of the bucket, mug, and glass by filling and observing.

a. Bucket → more than 1 litre  
b. Mug → more than half litre  
c. Glass → less than quarter litre  

Heavy or Light

The lunch box is heavier than the pencil box.
The school bag is heavier than the lunch bag.
The watermelon is heavier than the apple.
A basketball is heavier than a balloon.

Let us Do

1.  
Pencil – 2 coins  
Ping pong ball – 1 coin  
Spoon – 3 coins  

2. Explanation: Fill a matchbox with sand and use it as a unit to weigh objects. First guess, then verify.  

3. Order (lightest to heaviest): 4 marbles < spoon < pencil box  

Let us Do

Weight hunt

1. Compare school bags in groups and observe differences in weight. 
2. Count the number of books in each bag. The bag with more books is heavier.  
3. By making the number of books equal in both bags, their weights can be balanced.  

How much is 1 kilogram?

4. Examples of 1-kilogram objects are rice packets, sugar packets, and flour packets. 

5.  
More than 1 kg: Table  
Less than 1 kg: Pencil, balloons, book, pillow  

Let us explore.

Half kg objects:  
Sugar packet (½ kg)  
Dal packet (½ kg)  

Quarter kg objects:  
Butter packet (¼ kg)  
Small fruit pack (¼ kg)  

Tricky Balls

1.  
a. Only 1 time  
b. Weigh any two balls.  
If equal → third ball is heavier.
If not equal → heavier side has the heavy ball.

2. 
Weigh Red vs Orange.
If equal → Green is different.
If not equal → compare heavier one with green.
From results, identify heaviest and lightest.
