Mr. Gallon Man

To help us better understand the customary units of capacity, we made Mr. Gallon Man! Our display outside the classroom.




We learned that 4 quarts = 1 gallon, 2 pints = 1 quart, 8 pints = 1 gallon, 4 cups = 1 quart, 16 cups = 1 gallon, etc.

I have seen several versions of Gallon Man but when I saw yours I just had to comment. I love the realistic shapes of the various measures of volume. I believe more children will understand this concept when presented in this familiar form.
