How to Measure

Bell Ringer 8/22 How long is the paperclip?

Measuring Metric Meters, centimeter, kilometer mL, L , cm3 Grams, kilogram, milligram Used for science! What are the units listed above used for? What pieces of equipment are used to measure these? Standard Feet, inch, mile Cup Pound Used only in America

Meter Stick: What mark is the mm? cm? Ruler: What mark is the mm? cm?

How to Measure First, look at how your measuring tool is divided up. What is the smallest you can measure with it? Our ruler only gave us down to 0.1units Second, guess a bit past what your measuring tool can do. VERY IMPORTANT: You should always guess the last number.

Measuring Scavenger Hunt You are going to…. Pick a partner Measure items around the room Label all numbers!! Once you are done, turn your activity in and get your exit slip.

Exit Slip 8/22 Accurately measure each side of the notecard. Be sure to put your name on the notecard and label all units. (we will be checking for accuracy)
