This is the last full week of Unit 1 in math. We are wrapping up our unit by exploring and using the metric measurement system. Because the metric system is a base 10 system unlike our standard measurement system, this goes perfectly along with our understanding of 10 times as many. Today we started with length. We discussed the tools used to measure length - a ruler and measuring tape. We discussed the comparisons between standard and metric measurement so that students could connect what they already know to their new knowledge.
We took notes on metric length in our math journals today. We discussed how to convert measurements between units and in the notes are the conversions. Tomorrow we will practice converting between units.
As always, please let me know if you have any questions!
One more reminder, the Ireland Presentations are due tomorrow!!!! I gave both classes time in class today to continue working. We will will present in class tomorrow. I am hoping to get them all finished!
