The Gallon Man Create-Your-Own with Construction Paper activity on K12MathWorksheets.com provides an engaging, hands-on way for students to learn about customary volume measurements by constructing their own Gallon Man figure. To complete this activity, students will need several materials, including:

• Construction paper in a variety of colors for the different parts of Gallon Man (e.g., body, arms, legs, and labels).
• Scissors for cutting out the shapes and pieces.
• Glue or tape to assemble the Gallon Man.
