Gallons, Quarts, Pints, and Cups - oh my!

Hello Families!

Maybe I'm alone here, but gallons, quarts, pints and cups have always been tricky for me. How many pints in a gallon? How many cups in a quart? I have always had a hard time remembering these!! Your child will be bringing home a math page with gallon/quart/pint/cup conversions on it tomorrow (Wednesday) and I wanted to share a picture with you that I use to teach them (and remind myself!) about the conversions.

This picture shows that in one gallon, there are 4 quarts. In each quart, there are 2 pints. In each pint, there are 2 cups! So, back to my original puzzling questions, how many pints in a gallon? 8! (you just count how many P's are inside the big G) How many cups in a quart? 4! Honestly, I imagine this picture any time I need to know this info!

I hope this helps! Happy homeworking!
