Take a CLICKER and theMetric System PRE Assessment from my desk Ensure you are completing the side that says PRE!!! (NOT ‘Post’)

On a scale of 1-5 (1 being the least, 5 being the most) how CONFIDENT are you with #1

1. No clue what’s going on2. Kinda got it, but then you

lost me3. Ehh…I’m ok4. I think I got it, but I’d like

more practice5. So confident I could teach

it to someone right now

Which is longer?

A. 1 mile or 1 kilometer

B. 1 yard or 1 meter

C. 1 inch or 1 centimeter

1.6 kilometers

1 mile

1 yard = 0.9144 meters

1 inch = 2.54 centimeters

Metric UnitsThe basic unit of length in the metric system is the meter and is represented by a lowercase m.

Standard: The distance traveled by light in absolute vacuum in 1⁄299,792,458 of a second.Complete each statement with Metric Units

1 Kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m)

1 Meter = 100 Centimeters (cm)

1 Meter = 1000 Millimeters (mm)

Which is larger?

A. 1 meter or 105 centimeters

B. 4 kilometers or 4400 meters

C. 12 centimeters or 102 millimeters

D. 1200 millimeters or 1 meter

Measuring Length

12 or 13 mm1.2 or 1.3 cm136 or 137 mm13.6 or 13.7 cm

We are about to learnDIMENSIONAL

ANALYSIS.It’s a little different…But after some practice, it’s easy (And you’ll need to know this in Chem and Bio)

Dimensional Analysis

1030 cm = ______ m?

How does the math work?

1030 cm . __1_m 1 100 cm

Multiply by a ratio of 1 (just like ratios or fractions)

What CANCELS?What REMAINS?1030 m

100

SIMPLIFY & Solve …don’t forget the unit!

10.30 m OR10.3 m

Use Metric Magic and Dimensional Analysis to complete the following problems. Need help? Ask a friend or ask a teacher. SHOW ALL WORK, round to at least 2 decimal places!

40.64 156.492 1.9768

279.63 40.56 131.232

15.14 354.9 110.23

FIX # 5, 7, 8!!!! (They use ‘l’ instead of ‘L’

ALSO – depending how you round, your answers might vary slightly!!!

2. Ladder Method (way easier)

3. Either – I can see the benefits of both methods
