"The Land of Gallon" A great way to help student's when converting measurements!

This is a fantastic, brain-friendly strategy to help students remember standard measurement conversions found on-line and tweaked by two of Nixa's own amazing teachers.

While you're telling the story below, draw the object above.
In the Land of Gallon, there were four giant Queens. Each Queen had a Princess and a Prince. Each Princess and Prince had two children who were twins. The twins were 8 years old.Objective:
4 quarts = 1 gallon
8 pints = 1 gallon
16 cups = 1 gallon
128 ounces = 1 gallon
2 pints = 1 quart
4 cups = 1 quart

In the Land of Gallon, (Draw the giant “G”) G = gallon

there were four giant Queens. (We say giant Queens so the kids will draw the “Q’s” large enough) Q = quarts

Each Queen had a Princess and a Prince. (Inside each Q draw two “P’s”) P = pints

Each Princess and Prince had two Children, twins. (Inside each P make two “C’s”) C = cups

The twins were 8 years old. (Inside each C write the number “8”) 8 = 8 ozs. in one cup
