Each group will give an oral presentation using visual aids and where possible computer graphics. Work will be displayed and a question box will be set up that can address any additional questions raised by the students as they have time to study the data. This task should take about one week. Once the data is displayed, the information can be used to ask questions dealing with the uncertainty. Measurement Students use measurement in both metric and English measure to provide a major link between abstract mathematics and the real world in order to describe and compare objects and data.
Students use standard units of measurement.
Tasks Explore alternate systems of measurement. Use appropriate metric measurement tools. Tell time in seconds. Find value for a set of bills and coins. Explore scale drawing.
