I've since added the ideas below to get them to actually create the visual and tell the story, which they can recite to themselves even during a test... and then do whatever equivalents they might need to figure out. Gallons-Liquid measurement "Big G" Idea Posted on PT by ‘intheloonybin’ Have students take out a sheet of paper and draw an enormous G using up the whole page. Explain that this is the gallon. Then have them write four big Qs (inside the G) to ‘fill up the gallon’ (4 quarts in a gallon). Next, have them fill up each Q (inside the Q) with 2 Ps (2 pints in a quart). Finally, fill up each P with two cups (2 cups in a pint). If you'd like, you can have them fill up each cup with an 8 (8 fluid ounces in a cup). It's visual and helps all of my students. Hope this helps! ------------------- "Land of Gallon" Idea posted on PT by teachr2nd We call this the "Land of Gallon." It is the same idea as “Gallon Man” but we tell a story. The Land of Gallon(Gallon) has two Queens (Quarts). Each Queen has a Prince and a Princess (Pints). and each prince and princess have two Children (Cups). The kids seem to remember how to draw the diagram by reciting the story.
