Measurement and conversion notes:

(Here are a couple of new / fun math sites for you: http://www.mathcats.com/explore.html

and http://mathcentral.uregina.ca/index.php

All three measures are interrelated:

Capacity (liquid) mL and L

Mass (usually solid) g and kg

Volume (can be many states cm3 and m3)

1 mL = 1 g = 1cm3

What do you measure using mL? g? cm3?

Give an example of each.

Write examples of three common everyday objects and how MUCH stuff each has in it.

Miss R example: can of pop – capacity - 355 mL

1 L = 1 kg = 1000 cm3 (or 1 dm3) dm = decimetre = 10 cm ( volume 1 x w x h

10 x 10 x 10 = 1000 cm3)

What do you measure using L? kg? dm3?

Give an example of each.

Write examples of three common everyday objects and how MUCH stuff each has in it.

1 m3 = 1 tonne (1000 kg) = 1 kL (1000 L)

Part 2

How can you manipulate a number according to its units.

What is 234 cm as mm? as metres?

Create a chart starting with the smallest unit that we study: mm and show the powers of 10 up until km.

How does the decimal move?

Metres is the standard unit for length.

Show the same prefixes for capacity Litre is the standard unit and also use mass (gram is the standard unit). All use the same prefixes.

How does the decimal move?
