In-Class:
We reviewed the ladder method of conversion within the metric system. Students used flip cards to identify common sense units of measure. For example...students will be able to identify whether it is more reasonable to use a meter or kilometer to measure a given space or distance...a milliliter or liter to identify the volume of a given object and so on.
Homework:
Optional - make mental estimates about the size of common objects in your home. Use a metric ruler to check your estimates.
All Homework during Stanford testing is optional; it will not be graded. It is a chance to practice skills that will be used throughout the year.
