What children learn in Level 51
- Real problems often need a conversion first. A rope is 3 meters long, and you need pieces 25 centimeters long. How many pieces?
- The units don't match, so change one. 3 meters is 300 centimeters.
- Now divide. 300 divided by 25 is 12 pieces.
- So, first make the units match, and then solve.
Georgia's K-12 Mathematics Standards:
- 5.MDR.7.1 — Explore realistic problems involving different units of measurement, including distance, mass, weight, volume, and time.
- 5.MDR.7.3 — Convert among units within the metric system and then apply these conversions to solve multistep, practical problems.
