Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to have fun learning about measurements using cups, pints, quarts, and gallons. Let’s explore how these units work together and solve some interesting problems!
Here’s some important information to remember:
You can also think about it the other way around:
First, let’s look at a picture of one gallon. We need to figure out how many pints are in a gallon. Here’s how we do it step by step:
Let’s draw it out:
Now, let’s count the pints: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 pints. So, one gallon equals 8 pints!
Now, let’s convert pints into cups. We have two pints, and we need to find out how many cups that is:
Let’s count the cups: 1, 2, 3, 4 cups. So, two pints equal 4 cups!
Let’s try converting cups into quarts. We have 8 cups, and we want to find out how many quarts that is:
Let’s count the quarts: 1 quart, 2 quarts. So, 8 cups equal 2 quarts!
Remember, when solving these kinds of problems, take it step by step. Don’t skip any steps, and you’ll find it easy and fun!
Great job, everyone! Keep practicing, and you’ll become a measurement master in no time!
Measurement Hunt: Go on a measurement hunt around your home! Find different containers like cups, bottles, or jugs. Try to guess how many cups of water each container can hold. Then, use a measuring cup to check your guesses. Were you close? Write down your findings and share them with your family.
Build a Measurement Tower: Use building blocks or LEGO bricks to create a tower that represents different measurements. For example, use two blocks to represent one pint, four blocks for one quart, and so on. How tall can you make your tower? Try to build a tower that represents one gallon using the correct number of blocks for each measurement.
Draw Your Own Measurement Chart: Create a colorful chart that shows the relationships between cups, pints, quarts, and gallons. Use drawings or stickers to represent each unit. Hang your chart in your room or classroom to help you remember how these measurements work together. Can you explain your chart to a friend or family member?

Welcome to Kids Academy! Hello everyone! Let’s open the worksheet. Don’t forget to like this video and subscribe to our channel. You can find the link to this app in the comments below.
Today, we’re going to be looking at a measurement worksheet called “Measurement: Cups, Pints, Quarts, and Gallons.” Let’s use the information at the top to help us answer some of these questions.
You can read this information forwards:
– Two cups equal one pint.
– Two pints equal one quart.
– Four quarts equal one gallon.
You can also read this information backwards, meaning making the units from big to small:
– One gallon equals four quarts (four quarts fit inside one gallon).
– One quart equals two pints (two pints fit inside one quart).
– One pint equals two cups (two cups fit inside one pint).
Let’s use this information to answer the questions below. But first, let’s read the directions: circle which can hold the same amount.
Let’s first look at our picture on the left. I can identify this picture as one gallon, so my answer choices are all in pints. I know I’m going to be converting gallons into pints.
To do this, I have to take it step by step and break gallons down first into quarts, because I know how many quarts are in a gallon, and then from quarts into pints.
I know that in one gallon, there are four quarts. So, let’s make four quarts. I know that in each quart, there are two pints.
Let’s draw two pints for each quart:
– First quart: 2 pints
– Second quart: 2 pints
– Third quart: 2 pints
– Fourth quart: 2 pints
Now, let’s count our pints:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 pints.
If you look at the second answer choice, there are also 8 pints, making the second answer choice our correct answer.
Now, let’s look at the second example. In this example, I have two pints, and our answer choices are in cups. I know I’m going to be converting pints into cups.
I know that in one pint, there are two cups. So, let’s draw two cups for the first pint. Since we have two pints, we will draw another pint and two more cups for that pint.
Now, let’s count the cups in total:
1, 2, 3, 4 cups.
Again, I see that the second answer choice shows us four cups, which must be correct.
For our last example, we’re going to take small units of cups and turn them into bigger units of quarts. Let’s start with the correct number of cups:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 cups.
I can’t just jump from cups to quarts; we have pints in between. How many cups equal one pint? I know that two cups equal one pint.
Let’s group the cups into pairs to turn them into pints:
– First pair: 1 pint
– Second pair: 1 pint
– Third pair: 1 pint
– Fourth pair: 1 pint
Now, I have 4 pints.
From our information at the top, I see that two pints equal one quart. Let’s group two pints together to equal one quart:
– First two pints: 1 quart
– Second two pints: 1 quart
So, how many quarts do we have in total? Let’s count them:
1 quart, 2 quarts.
Now, we need to find the picture with two quarts, which is our first answer choice. Let’s go ahead and circle that.
Boys and girls, remember these kinds of worksheets can be tricky, but if you work backwards or forwards and take it step by step, never skipping a step or a unit type, you’ll find that this isn’t so tricky after all.
Great job, boys and girls! We’ll see you next time.
