✏️ Example
The whole idea, one bite at a time
Veda Bites are swipeable micro-lessons — each one teaches exactly one idea. Here's a taste from this kit; the app has the full deck.
Milligram
A big word for a tiny weight.
↳ 1 g = 1,000 mg
Kilograms into grams
Three easy steps.
↳ 2 kg 250 g is 2,250 g.
Like with like
Keep the parts apart.
Add kilograms to kilograms and grams to grams. Mixing them in one column gives a wrong answer.
↳ Two columns, never one.
Adding two weights
Four short steps.
↳ 2 kg 500 g + 1 kg 750 g = 4 kg 250 g
Taking weight away
Borrow a thousand.
For 2 kg 500 g minus 1 kg 750 g, borrow 1 kg as 1,000 g. Then 1,500 g minus 750 g is 750 g.
↳ Answer: 750 g

Anu Checks the Weights
Anu's weight list has silly entries. We learn to pick grams, kilograms or milligrams, read a dial scale, change one unit into another and compare weights.
- Grams suit light things and kilograms suit heavy things. A wrong unit makes a weight sound silly.
- A dial scale starts at 0. Work out what one small line is worth before you read it.
- 1,000 mg = 1 g, 1,000 g = 1 kg, 100 kg = 1 quintal and 10 quintals = 1 tonne.

Adding, Sharing and Buying by Weight
At the kirana store we add and take away weights, find the weight of many sacks, share a weight into equal parts, and turn weight into money.
- Add kilograms to kilograms and grams to grams. Never mix the two in one column.
- When the grams reach 1,000 or more, carry 1 kg across to the kilogram column.
- To take away, borrow 1 kg from the kilograms and call it 1,000 g.

Litres, Millilitres and What a Jug Holds
Ramiz measures water with jugs and bottles. We pick litres or millilitres, read container marks, change one unit into the other, and add, take away and share amounts.
- Capacity is how much a container holds. We measure it in litres and millilitres.
- 1 l = 1,000 ml, so 2 l is 2,000 ml and 7,250 ml is 7 l 250 ml.
- Millilitres suit spoons, drops and small bottles. Litres suit buckets, cans and drums.
