 Teacher Page | Introduction

1.  Come together and review the History of Measurement Worksheet, the Chart and Conversion Worksheet, and the US to Metric Worksheet.  Compare your answers.  If there are some discrepancies, talk it over and as a group decide which answer is best.  If you cannot come to a group agreement on any of the conversion problems use The Converter Website as a tool. 

2.  Print out a copy of the Website Review Worksheet.  Find three websites listed on the Resources page.  All three members need to read, discuss, and participate in writing a review over three of the websites listed. 

3.  Each member needs to present their research about their measurement topic (Metric vs. US/English Standard Worksheet).  Print one copy of the Group Decision Sheet.  Fill out the Group Decision Sheet together based on everyone's research.  After you have completed the Group Decision Sheet you should be able to recommend a system to the President of the United States.
