Gallon Guy/Gallon Gal

In school, we've been studying various methods of measurement. This included not only your standard inches, feet, yards, etc. but also teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, pints, quarts, gallons...you get the idea. Well, today we made Gallon Guy/Gals. It gives a great visual for remembering just how many pints are in a quart or how many cups make up a gallon. The biggest sheet of paper is the face of the gallon. The arms/legs are quarts, the hands/feet are pints, and the fingers/toes are cups. As you can see, 16 cups make 1 gallon, just like 2 pints makes 1 quart. I wouldn't have been able to remember this without the help of...GALLON GUY/GAL! Here are some pics of the kids with their respective measuring heroes!
