Is your child learning about capacity in math class? Here is a great visual tool to use when you need to reinforce  the capacity of a gallon, a quart, a pint  and a cup.

Mr. Gallon Man

 

Use Mr. Gallon man in several ways to make learning about capacity fun! Have your students make their own version of Mr. Gallon Man with a parter. Here are some questions to ask your students after they have made Mr. Gallon man:

How many quarts are in 1 gallon?

How many pints are in 1 quart?

How many pints are in 1 gallon?

How many cups are in pint?

How many cups are in 1 quart?

How many cups are in 1 gallon?

After your students have spent a lot of time working with Mr. Gallon man, have them draw him from memory.
