July 13 - Day 6

7/13/2015

 
Busy, busy, that was us!

Today we practiced our adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing skills with the opening word problem set.

After that we learned about converting metric measurement:
  • 10mm = 1cm
  • 100cm = 1m
  • 1000m = 1km


We discussed and demonstrated that the equal sign means that both sides are the same - the 'sequence' of numbers will always be the same when converting measurement as you are multiplying or dividing by 10, 100, 1000, and so on.

For example:  1234m = 1.234km  
The numbers '1, 2, 3, and 4' do not change position, just the place value column when being converted into a different metric unit of measurement.  

Next we looked at perimeter of a regular polygon (where all the sides of the shape are the same length).  We came up with the formula that: 

Perimeter = sum of all sides of a shape


See you all tomorrow,
Ms. Handel
