CLE.3231.Math.

1 Graph relationships and functions between manipulated (independent) variables and

responding (dependent) variables.CLE.3231.Math.2 Solve for variables in an algebraic formula.
  A unit conversion is a changing of one unit to
another.
 Unit Examples:
 meters
 grams
 inches
 feet
 pounds
 seconds

 Any time you write down a number in physics,

you should have a unit written after it!!!

  Metric units are the universally excepted
units around the world (except for the US).
They are the easiest to convert.

 Metric Unit Examples:

 meters Base Units – all
 liters other metric
units are based
 grams off of these
(km, cm, ml, kg)

  1 km= 1000 m Knowing these conversion
 100 cm= 1 m factors makes calculating
 1000 mm = 1 m conversions easy!
 10 mm = 1 cm These also work for liters and
grams. Just replace the base
unit (m) with a (g) or (l).

  Each group has a set of cards with common
conversion factors on them that you will be
using for the next two days.

  A mathematical way to convert one unit to
another. This works for metric units and non-
metric (English) units.

 This works by taking the unit you are given

and multiplying it by a conversion factor.
