Liquid Measurements Puzzle & Question Cards (Maybe you want to use fractions like, “8 cups = 1/2 gallon,” and so forth.) We’ve also included a blank card for those of you who want to create your own questions. That way, everything can be used over and over again. I suggest printing the question cards on card stock, writing the answer on the back as an easy self-check, and laminating them for durability. Once they’ve had some practice with the hands-on part, use the cards - you can find a list of the questions below, and we’ve also included them on a parent key in the download - to help quiz your child on the measurements. You may want to attach a round sticky piece of velcro ( these 1cm stickers are small enough to fit the smallest pieces) to the back of each piece, and to the front of the G, Q, and P in the corresponding spots, and let your child work on assembling the puzzle. Then, laminate ALL of the pieces, including the two full pages and each of the Qs, Ps, and Cs. Cut apart all of the individual letters from the third page of the download. You can leave the complete puzzle intact, just as a guide for your child, and there’s also no need to cut anything out from the page with the large G. With this download, you’ll just need to print and cut out the pieces to create a hands-on activity that teaches the relationship between the gallon, quart, pint, and cup liquid measurements we use here in the U.S.ĭirections: Print all of the pages in the download. Instead of drawing out this illustration each time, I thought it would be helpful to create a puzzle activity that kids can use over and over. Once that is drawn out, it’s easy for kids to count up the Cs to know there are 16 cups in a gallon, or count the Ps to know there are 8 pints in a gallon, etc. On a sheet of paper, I would draw a huge G for gallon, and inside of that make four Qs (to stand for four quarts in a gallon), add two Ps inside each Q, indicating that there are two pints in every quart, then put two Cs in each P, showing there are two cups in every pint. ![]() ![]() I don’t recall where I first saw this idea, but I’ve used it with great success for all four of my kiddos. At our house, we always welcome a few tricks for learning important stuff … and measurements are just one of those things every child needs to know.
