Learning Gallons & Pints[an error occurred while processing this directive] Recipe 4 Mr. Gallon 'Mr Gallon' is this wonderful teaching aid I made a long
time ago
and still use to help kids understand the concept of a
gallon. I
will explain him to you, and if you would like a picture,
I can email
it to you:)
You can either draw him or make him out of a gallon milk
container.He has two arms and two legs, each marked "quart".
Gallon is on his stomach. Two fingers (toes) on each extremity
is
written with "pint". In this way, the students
can see that four
quarts equal one gallon or 8 pints,or that 2 pints equals
one
quart, etc.

Recipe 4 Another Mr. Gallon Drawing
First draw a giant "G" in black. Then draw four
"Q's" inside that
shape, in red. Then draw two "P's" in green,
inside the "Q". Last,
draw two "C's" inside the "P's". This
shows visual learners that
there are four Quarts in a Gallon, two Pints in a Quart,
two Cups
in a Pint......four cups in a quart.....16 cups in a gallon.....8
pints
in gallon, etc. ** I have a picture of this as well, so
if you email
me I will send it with the Mr. Gallon picture:)
