Wild about Metrics

Today was the first day for news articles. I was EXTREMELY pleased with how many students volunteered to summarize out loud for extra credit. After collecting the news articles students took a brief 10-question quiz on variables and hypotheses. It won't count for a grade, but it gave myself and students more practice in using the student responders as an assessment tool. Following the quiz, students were given this chapter's activity packet. We openly discussed section 1-2 notes on metric abbreviations and conversion. We practiced converting from one metric unit to another, like from kilograms to grams.

Students were assigned worksheet 1.4 (#1-10) for homework. If you have any questions, please email me at kcremer@mounties.k12.pa.us.
