Introduction

Hello, Year 5! Today, we’re going to learn about pints, quarts, and gallons. These are all ways to measure liquids. Understanding these measurements will help you in cooking, science, and even shopping!

What Are Pints, Quarts, and Gallons?

  • Pint: A pint is a smaller unit of liquid measurement. In the UK, 1 pint is equal to 568 millilitres (ml).
  • Quart: A quart is larger than a pint. There are 2 pints in a quart. So, 1 quart equals 1,136 millilitres (ml).
  • Gallon: A gallon is the largest of the three. There are 4 quarts in a gallon. Therefore, 1 gallon equals 4,546 millilitres (ml).

Key Relationships

Here’s how they connect:

  • 1 quart = 2 pints
  • 1 gallon = 4 quarts
  • 1 gallon = 8 pints

Simple Examples

  • If you have 1 quart of orange juice, that’s the same as 2 pints of orange juice.
  • If you have 3 quarts of milk, how many pints do you have? (Answer: 6 pints, because 3 x 2 = 6)

Tips and Tricks to Remember

  1. Visualising Measurements: Think of a pint as a big glass, a quart as a jug, and a gallon as a big bucket.
  2. Use Your Hands: A pint is roughly the size of a large drink from a pub. A quart is like half a big bottle of soda, and a gallon is like a full bottle.
  3. Practice Conversions: Remember to practice converting between these units. You can make a table to help you remember how many pints are in a quart and quarts in a gallon.
