  4. Capacity: The Gallon • What do you think of when I say gallon? You probably think of the gallon of milk sitting in your refrigerator right now.

  5. Quarts Here is a quart of milk.

  6. Capacity: The Quart • You may also find milk in a quart container, which is smaller than both the gallon and half-gallon. You can also get paint in a quart.

  7. Pints Mason and Jelly Jars are about a pint.

  8. Capacity: The Pint • Guess what? Milk can also come in a pint. The kind of milk or juice you get in the cafeteria is a half-pint.

  9. Cups

  10. Capacity: The Cup • A cup of milk is 8 oz. of the cow’s best!!! Don’t you wish you had a cup right now with a chocolate chip cookie to dunk in it? Yummy!!!

  11. Relating Capacity Amounts • Now that you know what the capacity amounts are, let’s look at how many of one container it takes to equal another container. • 1 gallon = 4 quarts • 1 gallon = 8 pints • 1 gallon = 16 cups • 1 quart = 2 pints • 1 quart = 4 cups • 1 pint = 2 cups

  12. Conversions Use the Kingdom of Gallon!!

  13. Draw the G for the Kingdom of Gallon.

  14. Add 4 Q’s (quarts) for each of the four Queens in the kingdom.

  15. Each queen had a princess and a prince (2 pints).

  18. Try this one: Ms. Itzhaki went to the store to buy 6 quarts of milk. They were out of quarts! She had to get pints instead. How many pints did she need to bring home the same amount of milk?

  19. Since 6 qt = 12 pt, she needed to buy 12 pt!
