I hope everyone is having a wonderful Wednesday!
Let's get to business : ]
We are learning to convert in math. The students were told to bring their conversion paper home with them. This will give them what they need to know in order to solve the problems.
If you take a look at 2a, we are trying to figure out how many feet are in 18 yards. If we know that there are 3 feet in 1 yard, we can multiply 18 by 3 to get our answer of 54 feet.
Now, take a look at 2e. This one we are converting 2 miles into yards and feet. Fortunately, our conversion chart tells us that 1 mile equals 1,750 yards and it also equals 5,280 feet. Now all we have to do is multiply each of those numbers by 2, since we have 2 miles.
The story problems are similar to the others, except the students have to uncover what problem they are trying to solve. We are going to have to convert a component in each problem in order to solve it.
We are having our spelling test tomorrow!
Thanks,
Mrs. C
