Grade 2

What is a litre?

litre

A unit used to measure how much liquid something holds.

For example

A big bottle of mauby holds about two litres.

In Grade 2

Children handle real one litre bottles and fill smaller cups from them to feel how much a litre is.

Watch out for

Children often think a taller bottle must hold more litres. Check the label, because the shape tells you nothing about the amount.

Say it at home

Look at the labels on drinks together and find which ones hold one litre.
