CUSTOMARY MEASUREMENT CONVERSIONS

Today in class was very interesting. We started with a seating game that turned out to be a great review. We then began talking about converting customary measures (inches, feet, gallons, quarts, tons, etc.). Here are the lecture notes that were seen in class.

Here is a list of all the Customary Units we will be working with:

   CUSTOMARY UNITS

1 yard = 3 feet                                                     

1 mile = 5280 feet                                                       

1 foot = 12 inches                                               

1 cup = 8 ounces                    

1 quart = 2 pints

1 gallon = 4 quarts

1 ton = 2000 pounds

1 pound = 16 ounces

Monday we will start with a review and play a card game called "I have Who has"

RATIOS & PERCENTS REVIEW

This was originally going to be a quiz but I changed my mind so it is now a daily grade/homework grade. You may use a calculator. The following information may come in handy so please read it and use it.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION

A proportion is a statement showing that two ratios are equivalent.

***So that means when you are asked to write a proportion you are writing two equivalent ratios***

CONVERTING MEASUREMENTS

Today's Do Now was about measurements both customary and metric. You will be given another sheet very similar to this one in class tomorrow. Please make sure you know all of these measurements by Thursday for the quiz.

"I CAN"

Today in class we went over all the "I CAN" statements for our unit on Ratio, Rates, & Percents. Check out the picture below, as of today everything but the last bullet has been covered.

Tomorrow in class you will be working problems to review all the content from the unit. On Thursday all students will be taking a quiz over all the content covered up to this point.

I will post the review problems tomorrow.

DON'T FORGET IT FRIDAY

Our review for this Friday is to remember how to add unlike fractions.

Students need to complete the recipe card that I have provided. If you aren't in class to get the card you can make your own that looks similar to the photo below.

Sorry it's sideways :(

IT'S FRIDAY! IT'S FRIDAY! IT'S FRIDAY!

In class we began with our Do Now that led us into a discussion about changing percents (%) into decimals.

Knowing how to change %'s to decimals can help doing some percent problems quicker and allow you to work without using the formula shown below

Simply change the percent to a decimal and multiply by the number given. REMEMBER the word "of" means to multiply.

PERCENTS PERCENTS

Today in class we put away Method 1 which is pictured below.

New today is the formula to help us solve percent problems.

Use the next example to help you complete the homework.

Tonights homework is to re-do the board problems from last night using Method 2.
