Measurements Application Directions<\/h2>\r\n

Pick a problem<\/h3>\r\nFind a problem in your home, school, or work life that you can solve using the measurement math\u00a0that you learned in this unit.\u00a0Consider situations related to cooking, construction, healthcare, shopping, or converting between standard and metric systems.\r\n

Solve the problem<\/h3>\r\nUse the conversion methods\u00a0learned in this section\u00a0to solve your problem.\u00a0 The better you use the appropriate mathematics to correctly solve the problem, the more points you will earn.\r\n

Present the problem and your solution to the others in the class<\/h3>\r\nPost a message in the application discussion forum for this unit.\u00a0 In your message, describe the problem and how you solved it.\u00a0 Use the equation editor as necessary to show the mathematical operations.\u00a0 The better you communicate, the more points you will earn.\u00a0 If you enjoy and know how to use multimedia, such as video, audio, and graphics, you may use those as well, but this is not required.\r\n

View and respond to the measurement\u00a0problems submitted by your classmates<\/h3>\r\nPick two of your classmates\u2019 applications that were particularly helpful to you.\u00a0 Write a response to each, explaining in a paragraph or two why their applications helped you better understand the mathematics for this section\u00a0or better understand how the mathematics for this section\u00a0could be used outside of class.","rendered":"
