ACMMG: Connect decimal representations to the metric system
Learning intentions:
- Understand the relationship between decimal representations and the metric system.
- Understand how to use decimal representations to measure and compare quantities in the metric system.
- Students can accurately connect decimal representations to the metric system.
- Students can use decimal representations to measure and compare quantities in the metric system, including using the correct prefixes (milli-, centi-, deci-, etc.) to indicate the magnitude of the quantity.
- Students can convert between different units of measure within the metric system, including using decimals to perform the conversion.
- Students can use appropriate digital technologies, such as a calculator or a spreadsheet, to convert between different units of measure in the metric system.
- Students can interpret the results of their work in the context of the problem and determine if the answer is reasonable.
- Students can explain their reasoning and solve problems involving decimal representations and the metric system in a logical and organized way.
