Procedure

• First, you will copy the worksheet so that each student will have a copy.
  
  Then, before you pass out the worksheets, you will write on the board the following:
  
  2 cups = 1 pint
  2 pints = 1 quart
  4 quarts = 1 gallon
  
  You can explain the equality by giving the following examples:
  
  4 pints = _____ quarts
  
  4 cups = _____ pints
  
  1 cup = _____ pints
  
  3 quarts = _____ pints
  
  8 quarts = _____ gallons
  
  After you have gone over some examples, then you can pass out the worksheets for the students to do independently.
