FTF RULES

You always have to TRY but it’s okay if you don’t get it right.

Write the DATE. Write a brief description of what the activity

is. (you do not need to copy the directions word for word – these are quick activities).

Always number or letter the answers (if more than one!)

You can have more than one FTF per page. Just be sure to date them!

I sometimes collect them to count as a homework or class work grade.

SYSTEMS OF MEASUREMENT(HINT: USUALLY THE HEADING UP HERE MAKES A GOOD “MAIN IDEA” FOR YOUR NOTES)

There are multiple units of measurement In the U.S. we use the English System or

Customary System Most of the world uses the Metric System

Can you think of the units we use in the U.S. to measure Liquid Mass Length Temperature Time

Write them on your whiteboard

METRIC SYSTEM (HINT: USUALLY THE HEADING UP HERE MAKES A GOOD “MAIN IDEA” FOR YOUR

NOTES

The metric system is a system of measurement that is used by scientists all over the world.

In the science world it is also called it “System International” or SI.

Can you think of the metric units used to measure Liquid Mass Length Temperature Time

Write them on the white board!

METRIC BASE UNITS

Liquid = Liters Mass = Gram Length = Meters Temperature = Celsius Time = Seconds

LENGTH

The distance between two points.

Base unit is the meter (abbreviated with a lowercase m)

MASS

The measure of the amount of matter an object contains

Matter: The material that all objects and substances are made up of

Anything that has mass and takes up space is matter

Base unit of mass is the gram (abbreviate with a lowercase g)

VOLUME

The amount of space an object takes up. Measure in L (liters) for liquid. Measured in cm3 for solids

DENSITY

The measure of mass per given volume. d = m / v

MASS & VOLUME & DENSITY OF BOTTLES

TODAY’S AGENDA 9/8FTF

1. In your notebook list the base unit for mass, volume, length. Include the abbreviation.

2. What “hint” can you use to remember the formula for density?

METRIC PREFIXES Prefixes are added to

metric units to indicate smaller or larger units of measurement.

Units larger than the base unit are kilo, deca and hecto

Units smaller than the base unit are deci, centi and milli.

Prefixes also have abbreviations.

CONVERTING USING MULTIPLICATION OR DIVISION

Metric prefixes are based on 10.

Each prefix is 10 times greater or 10 times less than the prefix on either side.

To convert using multiplication or division:1. Determine starting

prefix.2. Figure out how many

times greater or smaller the prefix is that you are converting to.

3. Multiple or divide depending on if you are converting to a larger prefix or smaller prefix.

REMEMBER!DO A REALITY CHECK AFTER A CONVERSION

If you are converting from a large unit to a smaller unit your answer should be a larger number than the original measurement.

Example: kilometer to meter .05 km = 50m 10 km = 10 000m

If you are converting from a small unit to a large unit, your answer should be a smaller number than the original measurement. Example: mL to L 5 000mL = 5 L .15 L = 150 kL

LET’S PRACTICE

How many milliliters are in 1 liter? Ask: home many times bigger/smaller is a

milliliter compared to a liter. Decide: will I multiply or divide my starting

number? Do the math.

Convert 360 cm to dkm

Convert .06km to m

ADDING AND SUBTRACTING METRIC PREFIXES

Sometimes we have measurements we need to add but they are not measured in the same unit.

Problem: 300g + 3kg = ____ gRules for Solving

1. Convert all numbers to the unit of the answer.

2. Rewrite the problem with converted values.

3. Add or subtract the converted numbers to solve problem.

Example: 1. Answer should be in grams2. Convert 3 kg to 3 000 g3. 300 g + 3 000 g = 3 300g

METRIC MATH PRACTICE

Addition1. 1000 mL + 5 L = _________ L2. 5 km + 39 m = ___________ m3. 9 800g + 1 kg = __________ g

Subtraction1. 8 L – 2500 mL = ________ mL2. 62 kg – 1000 g = ________ g3. 25 km – 5000 m = ______ km

ANSWERS1. 6 L2. 5 039 m3. 10 800 g

Subtraction1. 5 500 mL2. 61 000 g3. 20 km

PROBLEM: 1 500 cm = 50cm _______cmRules for Solving

1. Rewrite problem substituting x for unknown (do not drop the prefix!)

2. Apply apply math rules to solve for unknown value.

Solving for an unknown value

Example1 500 cm = 50cm + x cmSubtract 50cm from both sides1 500 cm – 50 cm = x cm1 450 cm =x

PROBLEM: 5 500 cm = 50m _______cmRules for Solving

1. Convert all numbers to the same unit as what the answer should be in.

2. Re-write problem with converted measurements.

3. Apply apply math rules to solve for unknown value.

Solving for an unknown value with mixed prefixes

Example50 m = 5 000 cm5 500 cm = 5 000cm + ___?_____ cmSubtract 5 000 from both sides5 500 cm – 5 000cm = 500 cmAnswer = 500 cm
