2. Measurement…I thought we were done with that   Get yourself a tissue and pay attention.  First off, we learned how to convert measurement.  Second, some of the questions on the PSSA will ask you to add or subtract measurement.  What we will do today is to add and subtraction measurement.  Psss…you’re going to need your Formula Sheet (aka BFF) to get the conversions

3. Adding Measurement  Example: 4 ft 7 in + 9 ft 6 in  First, we want to write vertically 4 ft 7 in + 9 ft 6 in 13 ft 13 in Can we have 13 inches?  So we need to change 13 inches.  13 inches = 1 ft 1 in  13 ft + 1 ft 1 in 14 ft 1 in

4. You try  12 lb 8 oz + 9 lb 11 oz  12 lb 8 oz  + 9 lb 11 oz  21 lb 19 oz  19 oz = 1 lb 3 oz  21 lb  + 1 lb 3 oz  22 lb 3 oz

5. Subtracting Measurement  Example: 9 ft 4 in – 3 ft 9 in  First, we want to write vertically  9 ft 4 in  - 3 ft 9 in What can we do?  5 ft 7 in 8 16 We move one foot which is 12 inches over with the 4 inches

6. You try  Example: 27 lb 7 oz – 19 lb 12 oz  27 lb 7 oz  - 19 lb 12 oz  7 lb 11 oz 26 23 We move one pound which is 16 ounces over with the 7 ounces
