Math Reflections 3 & Units of Measure

LARGE GROUP
Students took a mini-assessment using the terms factors, divisors, product, multiples, and divisible by.

Then students did a Think-Pair-Share on Math Reflections 3, to consolidate what we know about multiplying and dividing integers.

Finally, students brainstormed all the measurement terms they could think of, and in small groups categorized and labeled them as to what they measure. Students thought of measurements for length, area, volume, mass, time, temperature, brightness, sound, earth movement/vibration, power, data storage, etc.

We discussed the metric system, and students learned how to convert from one unit to the other within the metric system, for example, from kilometers to meters. Class notes may be downloaded here for class 7A or class 7B.
