Today, we were assigned a challenge question. I had to create  a pyramid and create dimensions so the final volume equaled 990-1100 cm cubed. Below are my calculations and 3 dimensional pyramid with a total volume of 990cm cubed.

This week, our class spent a lot of time studying for the Unit 3 Measurements test. After every unit, I make a short note page summarizing the basic concepts we learned during the unit. Here is the note page I made for measurement.

This week I learned how to convert one form of measurement to another. I learned how to convert metric to imperial measurements, length to weight and volume etc.

Using this number line above, I am going to convert 8732cm into m.

1. I am going to refer to the number line. I have to figure out how many times it takes to go from “centi” to “units.” It is 2 times.
2. Because it moves to the left 2 times on the number line to get from centi to units, I have to do the same with the decimal place on the number.
3. 8732. becomes 87.32
4. 8732cm=87.32m
