Past Week...
For example, to convert 5.75 kg to ________ g
1 kg = 1,000 g;
1,000 = 10 to the power of 3, so move the decimal 3 spaces to the right to show that you are multiplying to change a larger unit of measure to a smaller unit of measure.
5.75 x 10 to the power of 3 = 5,750 g
Or 25 mm = __________ cm
10 mm = 1 cm
10 = 10 to the first power, so move the decimal 1 space to the left to show that you are dividing to change a smaller unit of measure to a larger unit of measure.
25 x 10 to the first power = 2.5 cm
Today we will take a daily grade on customary and metric conversions.
After Spring Break...
On Wednesday, April 11th, 3rd - 5th grades will take the GA Milestone. I have added some practice on www.prodigygames.com. Students have their username and passwords from me. Please allow them time to practice math on this site if you get the chance. They may also use this link to practice milestone format.
