This module was prepared to "metricate" approximately 3800 teachers in Western Kentucky. A brief history of measurement systems is followed by sections concerning length, mass (weight), temperature, and area and volume measurement. Each section contains a list of the common metric units used and their relationship as well as activities…

An exercise is presented for the purpose of understanding and determining area which involves using a balance as opposed to algorithms or computation. (MN)

This step-by-step guide for children provides a collection of over 150 recipes for breakfasts, lunches, salads, dinners, snacks, and desserts, with an emphasis on safety and creativity. The first chapter gives information concerning kitchen safety, utensils, term definitions, measuring equivalents, cleanup tips and other useful instructions. The…

This is a teacher's manual for an ISS-based elementary school course in the metric system. Behavioral objectives and student activities are included. The topics covered include: (1) linear measurement; (2) metric-decimal relationships; (3) metric conversions; (4) geometry; (5) scale drawings; and (6) capacity. This is the first of a two-part…

This is the second part of a two-part teacher's manual for an ISS-based elementary school course in the metric system. Behavioral objectives and student activities are included. Topics include: (1) capacity; (2) calculation of volume and surface area of cylinders and cones; (3) mass; (4) temperature; and (5) metric conversions. (BB)

The history leading up to the present status of the metric system is discussed. An outline to be used on the seventh-eighth grade level includes a discussion of and activities for the study of length, mass, liquid capacity, temperature, area, and volume. (MN)

This book contains the fifth and sixth chapters of the second course of a pilot mathematics sequence for the seventh and eighth grades. The content of the sequence is to serve as a vehicle for the development of relevant computational skills, mathematical reasoning, and geometric perception in three dimensions and is to reflect the application of…
