In the 3rd grade, kids practice capacity problems to understand measurement units associated with different types of calculations. These problems encourage learning simple capacity concepts that help in complex calculations in the future.

Engaging and Motivating Capacity Games For 3rd Graders

Capacity is an amount held by a measuring cup or flask or any other utensil that can hold products. When calculating this capacity, we use different measuring units. For example, milk is measured in milliliters, but pulses are measured in grams or kilograms.

Kids can learn and practice capacity in three simple steps:

Step 1: After pouring 8 ML of milk into cups, how much milk will each cup have?

Step 2: Divide the problem into parts.

We have a total of 8 ML milk.
We are putting it in two cups.

Step 3: Find an equation and solve it.

(8 ML)/2 = 4 ML.

Therefore, each cup has a 4 ML capacity.

The Best Way to Practice Capacity Problems in the 3rdGrade

Are Capacity Problems Challenging For Your Child?

Till now, 3rd-grade students may have learned shapes, perimeter, area, and other similar concepts. The concept of capacity is difficult, as we need to find the amount in a vessel or holding product. Therefore, it can be challenging and confusing in the starting.

How Can You Overcome Kids' Issues?

To resolve the issue, take several measuring cups. Take 8 ML milk in a large cup and divide it equally into smaller cups. Allow your child to find out the unit as well as the capacity correctly. SplashLearn’s online games for 3rd graders also help clear concepts of capacity.
