2 Student Activity 1 Work with your partner to answer the following questions. A calculator can be used on this activity for Problems 4 and 5. Problem 1: Draw a bar diagram to convert 4 feet to meters. Problem 2: A rectangle has dimensions 7 inches and 10 inches. What is the perimeter of the rectangle in centimeters? Using the unit rate method, the unit rate that can be used is To find the perimeter in inches, use the formula P =. Convert the perimeter, inches, to centimeters by multiplying in. by. The result is centimeters. Problem 3: A can of green beans contains 15 ounces. How many grams does the can contain? Using a proportion to convert, the proportion will be : 1 oz 28.4 g The on each ratio will out. The resulting proportion will be : Using the Product of Means Property, the resulting equation will be. 15 ounces = grams. The can of green beans will contain grams. TEKSING TOWARD STAAR 2014 Page 2

3 Problem 4: A square has a side length of 1.5 yards. What is the area of the square in square yards and in square meters? Decide if you want to convert the side length to meters first, or if you want to find the area first and convert the square yards to square meters. Show your work to find the area in square meters. Problem 5: A rectangular prism has dimensions of 6 feet, 7 feet, and 8 feet. What is the volume of the prism in cubic feet and cubic meters? Decide if you want to convert the dimensions to meters first, or if you want to find the volume first and convert the cubic feet to cubic meters. Show your work to find the volume in cubic meters. Problem 6: A rectangle has an area of 20 square inches. The length is 5 inches. Determine the dimension of the rectangle in centimeters. Show your work for the conversions.

6 Student Activity 3 MATERIALS: Per Pair of Students: A set of objects that include a piece of ribbon, a rectangle, 2 cans, and 2 prisms. PROBLEMS: Can you convert customary measure to metric measure? Can you convert metric measure to customary measure? PROCEDURE: You will work in groups of 2 for Student Activity 3. Decide who is Student 1 and who is Student 2. Part 1: Round 1: Measure the piece of ribbon to the nearest inch. When you both agree on the measure, write the measure on the Conversion of Measures chart. Working together, convert the inches to centimeters. Student 1 converts the measure using a unit rate. Student 2 converts the measure using a proportion. When you both agree on the conversion, record the length of the ribbon in centimeters on the chart. Round 2: Measure the dimensions of the rectangle to the nearest inch. When you both agree on the measures of the dimensions, record them on the Conversion of Measures chart. Determine the area of the rectangle in square centimeters. Student 1 find the area using a unit rate and Student 2 find the area by using a proportion. When you both agree on the area, record it on the chart. Round 3: Find the can labeled Can 1. Look at the label and determine the capacity of the can in grams. Record the grams on the Conversion of Measures chart. Find the capacity of the can in ounces. Student 1 finds the conversion using a proportion. Student 2 finds the conversion using a unit rate. When you both agree, record the conversion on the Conversion of Measures chart. Round 4: Find the can labeled Can 2. Look at the label and determine the capacity of the can in ounces. Record the ounces on the Conversion of Measures chart. Find the capacity of the can in grams. Student 1 finds the conversion using a unit rate or a bar diagram. Student 2 finds the conversion using a proportion. When you both agree, record the conversion on the Conversion of Measures chart. Round 5: Find the prism labeled Prism 1. Measure the dimensions of the prism in centimeters. Record the dimensions on the Conversion of Measures chart. Find the volume of the prism in cubic inches. Student 1 finds the volume using a unit rate. Student 2 finds the volume using a proportion. When you both agree, record the volume on the Conversion of Measures chart.. Round 6: Find the prism labeled Prism 2. Measure the dimensions of the prism in inches. Record the dimensions on the Conversion of Measures chart. Find the volume of the prism in cubic centimeters. Student 2 finds the volume using a unit rate. Student 1 finds the volume using a proportion. When you both agree, record the volume on the Conversion of Measures chart.
