Monday Units of Weight April 6, 2020

Vocabulary Weight- a measure of how light or how heavy something is. Ton- a customary unit of weight; equal to 2, 000 pounds Pound- a customary unit of weight; equal to 16 ounces Ounce- a customary unit of weight; 16 ounces is equal to one pound

1 ton (T) = 2, 000 pounds (lb) 1 pound (lb) = 16 ounces (oz) To convert from one unit of weight to another, you can use multiplication or division.

Let’s try one 1 ton (T) = 2, 000 pounds (lb) 1 pound (lb) = 16 ounces (oz) 4, 000 lb= ____T If I know that 2, 000 pounds (lb) is one ton, then I can use division to figure this out. 4, 000 2, 000= 2 2, 000 can go into 4, 000 two times, so 4, 000 lb is equal to 2 T. 4, 000 lb= 2 T

Try: Remember, when you go from big to small you need to multiply and when you go from small to big you need to divide. 4 lb = ______oz I know that 16 oz equals one pound so, to find the answer to this problem I have to multiply. 4 x 16 = 64 So, 4 lb = 64 oz 1 ton (T) = 2, 000 pounds (lb) 1 pound (lb) = 16 ounces (oz)

IXL Today we want you to long into IXL. com, go to the Math tab, and complete Objective: Z. 1 Choose the appropriate customary unit of measure

Wednesday Units of Length April 8, 2020

Vocabulary Kilometer (km)- a metric unit of length; one kilometer is equal to 1, 000 meters. Meter- a metric unit of length; one meter is equal to 100 centimeters. Centimeter- a metric unit of length; 100 centimeters is equal to one meter. Millimeter- a metric unit of length; 1, 000 millimeters equal one meter.

Let’s try one Remember, when you go from big to small you need to multiply and when you go from small to big you need to divide. 6 m = ______cm I know that 100 cm is equal to one meter, so I will have to multiply the number of meters I have in the problem by 100. 6 x 100 = 600 6 m = 600 cm

One more 17, 000 m = ______km There are 1, 000 meters in one km, since I am going from small to big I will have to divide. 17, 000 divided by 1, 000 equals 17 17, 000 m = 17 km Your Turn: Log into Pearsonrealize. com and complete the video and Practice Buddy for 11 -4

Friday Metric Units of Capacity April 10, 2020

Vocabulary Capacity- the volume of a container measured in liquid units Liter (L)- a metric unit of capacity; one liter is equal to 1, 000 milliliters. Milliliter (m. L)- a metric unit of capacity; 1, 000 milliliters equal one liter.

Let’s try it 3, 000 m. L = _______ L I need to divide because I am going from small to big. 3, 000 divided by 1, 000 equals 3 So, 3, 000 m. L = 3 L Remember, when you go from big to small you need to multiply and when you go from small to big you need to divide. 1 L = 1, 000 m. L

One more Remember, when you go from big to small you need to multiply and when you go from small to big you need to divide. 2. 75 L = _______ m. L 1 L = 1, 000 m. L I need to multiply because I am going from big to small. 2. 75 x 1, 000 = 2750 So, 2. 75 L = 2750 m. L Your turn: Log onto Pearsonrealize and do the video and Practice Buddy for 11 -5
