1. Teacher Guide This lesson is designed to teach kids to ask a critical thinking question that you can’t just put into a search box to solve. To do that, we encourage them with smaller questions that search can help them answer. Make sure that you read the notes for each slide: they not only give you teaching tips but also provide answers and hints so you can help the kids if they are having trouble.

This lesson is designed to teach the Common Core State Standard: Measurement & Data CCSS.Math.Content.4.MD.A.1CCSS.Math.Content.4.MD.A.1 Know relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units including km, m, cm; kg, g; lb, oz.; l, ml; hr, min, sec. Within a single system of measurement, express measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Record measurement equivalents in a two-column table. For example, know that 1 ft is 12 times as long as 1 in. Express the length of a 4 ft snake as 48 in. Generate a conversion table for feet and inches listing the number pairs (1, 12), (2, 24), (3, 36),... CCSS.Math.Content.4.MD.A.2CCSS.Math.Content.4.MD.A.2 Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.

3. The Marina Bay district in Singapore is a mixed-use area, combining commercial, entertainment, and residential developments. And thanks to some of the wholly original attractions, it’s become a must-see for visitors. The three towers on the left are the Marina Bay Sands, a Vegas-style casino resort with a “sky terrace” connecting all three structures at the top. And if that view isn’t enough, the Singapore Flyer is currently the world’s tallest Ferris wheel, offering another chance to take in the sights and scenes of this city of superlatives. Although the Singapore Flyer was the world’s tallest Ferris wheel at one time, it no longer holds this position.
