Welcome to a wild tale shared around the campfire one night, way out west. With the beautifully landscaped backdrop of Ten-Gallon Ranch, a young cowboy shares his story of a Ten-Gallon Hat, quail eggs, possums, and coyotes. How does he remember the details of this story? He cleverly draws a picture in the stars!
Not only an engaging story that transports the reader to a western ranch, but this book also helps to teach an easy way to remember the US customary system of measurement for units of volume. Real life examples are presented to help students visualize just how much is in a cup, pint, quart and gallon. Problem solving methods are unraveled as the story unfolds and an inspiring Math problem is posed at the end. This book is meant to be shared with Math students who are learning liquid measurement, who might benefit from a memory jogger, and who are ready for some fun!
