Measurement Activities

1. Measurement Activities Liquid Units of Measure Gallon * Quart * Pint * Cup Liter * Milliliter

2. Estimate conversion between U.S. Customary and metric units, using ballpark comparisons, such as 1 quart is a little less than 1 liter 1 liter is a little more than 1 quart Quarts and Liters are just about the same! 7 liters is about 7 quarts 5 liters is about 5 quarts 81 liters is about 81 quarts

3. Equivalent Measurementsvolume US Customary System • cups & pints • pints & quarts • quarts & gallons Metric • milliliters and liters

19. Conversions Between Pints & Cups C C

20. Conversions Between Pints & Cups TWO CUPS is the same as one PINT C C Write the letter C for every cup that you have. Every time you have two of them, write a P around those letters to show that you have a pint.

22. 5 cups = 2 ½ pints Half a Pint

23. 5 cups = 2 ½ pints Half a Pint This is 1 of the 2 cups needed to make another pint ….half a pint. C C C C C

25. 6 pints = 12 cups Write the letter P for each PINT C C C C C C Write the letter C Twice inside each P to show that TWO CUPS is the same as one PINT C C C C C C

27. 3 ½ pints = 7 cups Half a Pint 1 cup….half a pint. Write the letter P for every whole pint you have. C C C C C C Write two cups inside each pint to show that TWO CUPS is the same as one PINT C

28. Conversions Between Quarts and Pints PP

31. 3 quarts = 6 pints Write the letter Q for every QUART you have. Write two PINTS inside each QUART to show that TWO PINTS is the same as one QUART PP PP PP

33. 11 pints = 5 ½ quarts

34. 11 pints = 5 ½ quarts Every time you have 2 PINTS, write a Q around those letters to show that you have a quart. Write the letter P for every PINT you have. One PINT makes.half a quart. PP PP PP PP PP P
