Reasoning Mind Academy: Unit Conversion Great! So, how do we actually convert?! Step 1: Write your. (Which unit did they give me? Which unit am I missing?) Step 2: the conversion on your STAAR formula chart. Step 3: Make a using the conversion formula. (Hint: “T”) Step 4: if you need to go from small → LARGE or LARGE →small. Step 5: or. Step 6: Write your in your answer!

Reasoning Mind Academy: Unit Conversion Great! So, how do we actually convert?! Step 1: Write your __information. (Which unit did they give me? Which unit am I missing?) Step 2: Find the conversion on your STAAR formula chart. Step 3: Make a t-chart/table using the conversion formula. (Hint: “T”) Step 4: Decide if you need to go from small → LARGE or LARGE →small. Step 5: Multiply or divide. Step 6: Write your __units in your answer!

Reasoning Mind Academy: Unit Conversion Example 1) On a baseball field, the distance from home plate to first base is 90 feet. How many yards is it from home plate to first base? Remember: Big to small, multiply them all. Small to big, divide you did! Using your steps written in your notebook, what would we do to find our answer?
