Description

This mnemonic device helps students remember customary units for capacity (cups, pints, quarts, and gallons) so that they can easily convert between units when solving measurement problems in math class.

This resource includes an 8 page booklet (copies on 2 sheets of regular printer paper) that tells "The Legend of Gallon Land," a story involving a kingdom called Gallon Land (gallon) with 4 queens (quarts), 8 princes/princesses (pints), and 16 cats (cups).

After the story, the booklet walks students through drawing the accompanying visual (a G with 4 Qs inside, each with 2 Ps, and each of the Ps with 2 Cs) and includes practice problems converting between customary units for capacity. An answer key is also included.

This practical math mnemonic activity is disguised as an exciting fairytale book your students will love! Check out the preview for a full look at what's soon to be your favorite measurement tool.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Know relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units including km, m, cm; kg, g; lb, oz.; l, ml; hr, min, sec. Within a single system of measurement, express measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Record measurement equivalents in a two-column table. For example, know that 1 ft is 12 times as long as 1 in. Express the length of a 4 ft snake as 48 in. Generate a conversion table for feet and inches listing the number pairs (1, 12), (2, 24), (3, 36),...
Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.
Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system (e.g., convert 5 cm to 0.05 m), and use these conversions in solving multi-step, real world problems.
