I can solve multi-step measurement word problems that include whole numbers, fractions, and decimals.
See Think-Tac-Toe for: people smart, nature smart, self smart, body smart, math master smart, word smart, music smart, logic smart, art smart
SMART Board, math notebook, chromebooks
Students need to understand customary units and the metric system. Students see more everyday examples of customary units. They still need hands-on experiences with the metric system.
To convert from one unit to another unit, either multiply or divide. To change from a greater unit to a lesser unit (i.e. foot to inches), multiply. To change from a smaller unit to a larger unit, divide. The metric system is based on multiples of ten, when you increase the measure, multiply by ten and as the measure decreases, divide by 10.
Spend about 5 minutes on the warm-up problems.
Multi-step measurement conversions: length/distance (metric system)
Students will be engaged in making measurement conversions in the metric system for length/distance. Students will need to know and make the following conversions: cm to mm, m to mm, m to cm, and km to m. Guide students’ understanding by utilizing a conversion table. Students will also discover benchmarks for using these measurements.
Students will become familiarized with finding fractional and decimal amounts of the whole.
Afterward, students will work in pairs or individually to complete the practice problems.
The students will complete a ticket out the door/cool-down problem to assess their learning of the content taught today.
Below grade level (RIT 200-below) : Students will solve simple problems involving elapsed time, with the conversion of hours as well as problems involving miles/kilometers per hour.
Convert between cups and pints as well as between cups, pints, and quarts. Compute basic operations with units of weight/mass.
At grade level (RIT 200-210) : Students will convert between inches and feet. Compute more difficult conversions among units of time (hours, days). Compute addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division on multiple-step, real-world problems.
Enrichment (RIT 210-above) : Students will compute addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division on multiple-step, real-world problems. Convert within the metric system.
