Capacity

Hi Everyone! I read this online and thought it was helpful. Many of us are familiar with the big G to help students remember what a gallon is made of. This little story helps them remember how to draw the big G. Of course, this should be used after the understanding of capacity is there.

Welcome to the Land of Gallon. In this land there are four Queens (quarts), each Queen has a Prince and a Princess (pints), each Prince and Princess has 2 children (cups).

Thanks again to the teacher who offered up the chicken crossing the road scenario to help out with rounding, I love it!
