Clever Tip for Teaching Capacity Conversions
I wish I could take credit for this idea, but I photographed this clever capacity tool from a classroom teacher. I told her to save some items to hang on the wall for visual learners to reference pints, cups, quarts, and gallons. I mentioned having one of her students save a milk carton from lunch to represent a cup, however she went a step further. She made a cup, pint, quart, and gallon all from milk cartons. Students are able to see how many milk cartons or cups are in each type of measurement.
