Example: The CHARLIE Stick
●
The room is ______________Charlies by
______________Charlies
Floor covering Activity
The school board would like to replace the
flooring in the room with nonslip tiling
●The cost of flooring is $20 per square meter
●
1. Form your construction companies name
2. Measure the room and come up with an
estimate for the cost of materials

Significant Numbers
Significant Numbers are digits up to and
including the first uncertain digit.
• 1.15mL implies 1.15 ± 0.01 mL
Counting significant numbers
• Convert to scientific notation
• Disappearing zeros just hold the decimal point –
they are not significant

Relationship between distance,
volume, and mass
1 cm3 = 1mL
1 mL of water = 1 g
Compare cm3, Dcm3, m3
Converting between systems
●
equality/conversion factor method
●
an equality is:
●
a conversion factor is:
Conversions in student planner
1 inch = 2.54 cm
1inch/2.54 cm 2.54 cm/1 inch
12in *2.54cm/in = 30.48cm
