MODULE 1 Lesson 4 Objective Use exponents to

MODULE 1 Lesson 4 Objective: Use exponents to denote powers of 10 with application to metric conversions.

Multiply and Divide Decimals by 10, 100, and 1000 • Say the value as a decimal. • Write the number and multiply it by 10. • 32. 4 x 10 = 324 • Now show 32. 4 divided by 10. • 32. 4 ÷ 10 = 3. 24

Multiply and Divide Decimals by 10, 100, and 1000 • Using your place value chart, show 32. 4 x 100. • 32. 4 x 100 = 3240 • Now show 32. 4 ÷ 100. • 32. 4 ÷ 100 = 0. 324

Multiply and Divide Decimals by 10, 100, and 1000 • Using your place value chart, show 837 ÷ 1000. • 837 ÷ 1000 = 0. 837 • Now show 0. 418 x 1000. • 0. 418 x 1000 = 418

Write the Unit as a Decimal • 9 tenths = _____ • 10 tenths = ____ • 20 tenths = ____ • 30 tenths = ____ • 70 tenths = ____ • 9 hundredths = ____ • 10 hundredths = ____ • 11 hundredths = ____ • 17 hundredths = ____ • 57 hundredths = ____ • 42 hundredths = ____ • 9 thousandths = ____ • 10 thousandths = ____ • 20 thousandths = ____ • 64 thousandths = ____ • 83 thousandths = ____

Write in Exponential Form • 100 = 10? Write 100 in exponential form. • 100 = 10² • 1, 000 = 10? Write 1, 000 in exponential form. • 1, 000 = 10³ • 10, 000 = 10? Write 10, 000 in exponential form. • 10, 000 = 10⁴ • 1, 000 = 10? Write 1, 000 in exponential form. • 1, 000 = 10⁶

Converting Units • 1 km = _____ m Fill in the missing number. • 1000 m • 1 kg = _____ g Fill in the missing number. • 1000 g • 1 liter = ____ ml Fill in the missing number. • 1000 ml • 1 m = _____ cm Fill in the missing number. • 100 cm

APPLICATION PROBLEM Mr. Brown wants to withdraw $1, 000 from his bank and in ten dollar bills. How many ten dollar bills should he receive? Explain how you arrived at your answer.

Concept Development – Problem 1 Draw a line 2 meters long. 0 m 2 m • With your partner, determine how many centimeters equal 2 meters. • 2 m = 200 cm • How is it that the same line can measure both 2 meters and 200 centimeters? • Discuss with a partner how we convert from 2 meters to 200 centimeters. • Multiply by 100 • Why didn’t the length of our line change? Discuss that with your partner.

Concept Development – Problem 1 Draw a line 2 meters long. 0 m 2 m • With your partner, determine how many millimeters equal 2 meters. • 2 m = 2000 mm • How is it that the same line can measure both 2 meters and 2000 millimeters? • Discuss with a partner how we convert from 2 meters to 2000 millimeters. • Multiply by 1000 • Why didn’t the length of our line change? Discuss that with your partner. • Can we represent the conversion from meters to centimeters or meters to millimeters with exponents? Discuss this with your partner.

Concept Development – Problem 1 • When we convert from centimeters to meters, we multiplied by 10², while to convert from meters to millimeters we multiplied by 10³. • However, if we convert from centimeters to meters we divide by 10² and to convert from millimeters to meters we divide by 10³.

Concept Development – Problem 2 Draw a line 1 meter 37 centimeters long. 0 m 0. 5 m 1 m 1 m 37 cm 1. 5 m 2 m • What fraction of a whole meter is 37 centimeters? • 37 hundredths • Write 1 and 37 hundredths as a decimal fraction. • 1. 37 • With your partner, determine how many centimeters is equal to 1. 37 meters both by looking at your meter strip and line and writing an equation using an exponent. • What is the equivalent measure in meters? • 137 centimeters • Show the conversion using an equation with an exponent. • 1. 37 meters =1. 37 x 10² = 137 centimeters • What is the conversion factor? • 10² or 100

Concept Development – Problem 2 • Convert 1. 37 meters to millimeters. Explain how you got your answer. • 1. 37 meters = 1370 millimeters • Convert 2. 6 m to centimeters. Explain how you got your answer. • 2. 6 m = 260 centimeters • Convert 12. 08 millimeters to meters. • 12. 08 mm = 0. 01208 meters

Concept Development – Problem 3 A cat weighs 4. 5 kilograms. Convert its weight to grams. A dog weighs 6700 grams. Convert its weight to kilograms. • Work with a partner to find both the cat’s weight in grams and the dog’s weight in kilograms. Explain your reasoning with an equation using an exponent for each problem. • 4. 5 kg x 10? = ______ g • 6700 g ÷ 10? = ______ kg • What is the conversion factor for both problems? • Now convert 2. 75 kg to g and 6007 g to kg. • 2. 75 kg x 10? = ______ g • 6007 g ÷ 10? = ______ kg • • What is the conversion factor for both problems? Let’s relate our meter to millimeter measurements to our kilogram to gram conversions.

Concept Development – Problem 4 • The baker uses 0. 6 liter of vegetable oil to make brownies. How many millimeters of vegetable oil did he use. • 0. 6 l x 10³ = 600 ml • He is asked to make 100 batches for a customer. How many liters of oil will he need? • 0. 6 l x 10² = 60 l • After gym class, Mei Ling drank 764 milliliters of water. How many liters of water did she drink? • 764 ml ÷ 10³ = 0. 764 l • What do you notice with measurement conversions thus far?
