Week 3

Lesson 5 Unit Conversations

Today’s Objectives

• A.CED.1 – Create equations in one variable and use them to solve problems. (integer inputs only)

• N.Q.2 – Define appropriate quantities for the purpose of descriptive modeling. Given a situation, students will determine, identify and use appropriate quantities for representing the situation.

• N.Q.3 – Choose a level of accuracy appropriate to limitations on measurement when reporting quantities

• Focus Standard - N.Q.1 – Students will use units of measure as a way to understand problems

• Objective: Students will

Essential Questions

• Why do we have different forms of measurement?

• When would you need to convert from one unit to another?

Vocabulary Words

Dimensional analysis is a process that uses rates

to convert measurements from one unit to another.

A rate such as in which the two quantities are

equal but use different units, is called a

conversion factor. To convert a rate from one set

of units to another, multiply by a conversion factor.
