Measuring Volume

Directions:

1. Gather measuring spoons and cups.
2. Start with the cup and have your child measure 1⁄4 of a cup, 1/3 of a cup, 1⁄2 a cup, 2/3 of a cup, 3⁄4 of a cup, and 1 cup. Then ask them to figure out what 1⁄4 and 1⁄4 cup equals; 1⁄4, 1⁄4, and 1⁄4 cup equal. Be as creative as you can with your questions. Remember to cut measurements in half or double them.
3. Do the same thing with measuring spoons. Start with a teaspoon. Measure a 1⁄4, 1⁄2, and 1 teaspoon. Then ask what will a 1⁄2 and 1⁄2 teaspoon equal. Ask many measuring questions using a teaspoon.
4. Next, measure with a tablespoon. How many teaspoons are in a tablespoon? (The answer is 3.) Ask questions about measuring teaspoons and tablespoons.
