1. Measurement and Units

2. Rulers- Do Now How do you read a ruler? Why are rulers important?
What are some examples of careers where rulers are necessary?

3. Reading a Ruler

4. Some Things To Note:
Each long line labeled with a number represents the whole number place(s)
Each smaller line is a fraction, decimal or “A little bit more” of that whole number
When measuring in centimeters, each smaller line is worth 0.1 (a tenth of a centimeter)

5. Add to get the full value to the nearest tenth
If on a whole number line, add .0 if the measurement needs to be to the nearest tenth
Example: _12.0_________

6. ROUNDING

7. Rules for Rounding
1. When rounding to a place, look to the number to the right of the number in question.
Example: If you are rounding to the nearest tenth, look at the hundredths place

8. 2. If the number to the right of the number in question is
a. Less than 5, keep the number in question the same and drop all numbers to the right
b. Greater than or equal to 5, increase the number in question by 1 and drop all the numbers to the right

9. Round to the nearest tenth:
7.8832
Round to the nearest thousandth:

10. Units Units tell you what is being measured
Distance is measured in: meters, centimeters, millimeters, miles, feet, etc and is measured with some kind of ruler
Mass or weight is measured in: grams, kilograms, pounds and ounces and is measured with some kind of scale

11. Units and Math
When adding or subtracting numbers with the same units, the units stay the same
A. Example: 2 grams + 8 grams = 10 grams
When multiplying units that are the same, each time you “times” an exponent is added
Example: 3 gramsx1 gram x 4 grams = 12 grams cubed or 12 g3

12. When multiplying different units, they carry
Example:
2 oranges X 5 apples = 10 apples and oranges
When dividing, units that are the same on the top and bottom cancel out

13. If dividing and the units are different, carry them through
