6th Grade Homework - Unit Conversions

Tonight's homework is to use Dimensional Analysis to convert units within the customary measurement system. Students were given a worksheet with 20 problems. Proportions of common units of measurements can be found in the CRCT Coach book, page 70. However, students should use the Dimensional Analysis method as opposed to the steps given on page 71. The link to dimensional analysis (click here) has some additional information that will help students to do this. In this manner, students will avoid the confusion of deciding when to multiply and when to divide.
