Introduction
(Hook)
Does anyone know about gallons, quarts, pints, and cups? (If many ask for
silent me twos). Bring out the gallon, quart, pint, and cup. Ask kids what they
think the biggest is, (gallon) then proceed to ask how many quarts they think
go into the gallon and so on. Draw the big G on the board to help the kids
visually see.
Does anyone know about Gallon Man? Because that is what we will be doing
today!

If necessary
Closure Activity
Pass out a big white construction paper to serve as a base line to build Gallon
Man (template). Then pass out the parts of gallon man in baggies, have the
kids glue the parts to templet on white construction paper. After they finish
gluing they can draw a face on their Gallon Man. After they finish that activity
have them pick up the closure activity (a worksheet) and tell them you will be
walking around if they need any help with it, they may also use their gallon
man on the worksheet to help or the big G.
Visual activity in the beginning to help them see why this many quarts
go into a gallon, etc.
If some students finish early they will be doing a worksheet that they may use
their Gallon man on to help complete
Follow-Up/
Homework
REFLECTION
The students grasped the material quickly and were encouraged to learn the
information due to the visual and hands on activity. Students had some
knowledge of this subject and were still open to learning more about it.
Feedback from the students showed their interest and enjoyment from this
lesson. My only suggestion is to put up What to do when done directions for
early finishers.
