Measuring With Cups

To help your child practice measurement and fractions, give them a set of measuring cups and index cards or a sheet of paper with the following questions.  Have them use water, beans, or rice to practice.

1. How many ½ cups does it take to make 1 cup?
2. How many 1/3 cups does it take to make 1 cup?
3. How many ¼ cups does it take to make 1 cup?
4. Fill up your 1-cup measure. How many times can you fill up the ½ cup?
5. Fill up your 1-cup measure. How many times can you fill up the 1/3 cup?
6. Fill up your 1-cup measure. How many times can you fill up the ¼ cup?
