Gallon Jug Contest Winners Show the Variety of Entries

The third year of the Gallon Jug Contest saw another collection of creative entries from grade 4 and 5 students. The contest is a math class challenge requiring students to create gallon guys, gallon gals, animals and other objects using divisions of a gallon (such as four quarts, eight pints and so on). Winners were separated into two categories, one for creativity and one for functionality, or how well the creation showed the relationship between the measurements. This year’s winners, all grade 4, are: Compass, Henry Wong; Native American Girl, Alexandra Lu; Harker Eagle, Nikhil Dharmaraj; Caterpillar, Ally Wang.
