Today we made a Mrs. Gallon (I'd actually seen this as Mr. Gallon). We were studying liquid measurement and I thought this was a great visual for both of us, as I can never remember how many cups are in a gallon or how many pints are in a quart. And, it was a fun project!
We started with a full piece of construction paper for the gallon, cut a sheet in fourths for the quarts, a sheet into eights for the pints, and another into sixteenths for the cups.
I have never seen that before-- very clever idea! I'll have to try that with my boys. It will, ahem, probably be a good refresher for me. I think I remember it correctly...
Thank you for stopping by my blog and for your kind words! They are much appreciated!
Welcome to my blog! I homeschooled our only daughter, Alex, for 6 years... from kindergarten through 5th grade. Then, for two years (grades 6 & 7) she attended a private school. This year, we're HOME again!
Besides homeschooling, I also love to read, learn, travel, run & bike! If you enjoy my blog, please leave me a message! I love to hear from you!

Love this idea. I'd never seen this. hhhmmmm might have to do this. Maybe this way I can also remember how many cups are in a gallon.

What a great visual! We always learn best if we can visualize these kinds of topics. Thank you for posting!
