This week, we’re transitioning into the measurement unit. I believe that every unit we do relates to the last unit we did. At the beginning of the semester, we started with the basics, and we did our numbers unit. Then, we did exponents, which builds on numbers. We take some of the concepts, and morph them into the next unit. I see it kind of like baking a cake. You take the base from the last unit (the actual cake part), and you add decorations (the new concepts). Then the next unit, you add another base, but you still have the knowledge of the last unit. I think that measurement will relate to exponents, in the sense that we’ll use exponents to measure objects and distances.
