How many parts make a whole? Cooking measurements were a great way to help my son answer that question. This was a simple activity that he found surprisingly interesting. When it was done, he asked if there was more he could measure! What we used: 4-cup liquid measuring cup Measuring spoons Measuring cups Empty gallon-sized milk jug Tap water Funnel (optional) Worksheet of measuring questions (download the one I made here) Before we got started pouring and measuring, we read Stuart J. Murphy’s Room for Ripley, a Level 3 MathStart Capacity book. In the book, Carlos is super excited to buy his first fish. As he prepares the fish bowl with water, he learns all about just how much water it’ll take to make a nice home for his new guppy. One cup is not enough! 2 cups (or 1 pint) is not enough! As he continues to add more and more water, he learns how many pints are in a quart, and how many quarts are in half gallon, etc. When we finished reading about Carlos’ new pet, I had my son using the measuring spoons, cups, and 2-cup measuring cup to complete a worksheet of math (measuring) questions. This was great fraction practice. I was thrilled to hear his hypothesis that three 1/3-cups would equal 1 cup!
We worked a great deal with measurement before and now after our break as well. Before break the class finished our study of nonstandard linear measurement by using our cubits to measure the length…
