Welcome Class---Today we will build our own paper airplane. We will then fly our planes and measure the distances of each flight. Record the distance of each flight in feet and inches. Please record a minimum of at least 15 flights. Once you have recorded all of your flights compute the mean, mode, median, and range. Good luck and happy flying.

Chapter 5-Measurement
Hello, hope everyone is prepared to take on our next task. We will be looking at all types of Measurements in Chapter 5. When you finish the chapter, you should be able to:
5.1 Convert from one unit of measure in the English system to another.
5.2 Convert from one unit of measure in the metric syastem to another.
5.3 Find the areas of common geometric figures.
5.4 Find the volumes of common gemotric figures.
Lets begin with Unit 5.1 "The English System of Weights and Measures". This section is divided into four parts---length, capacity, weight, and time. Begin by reading pages 143-148 and then explore the following web sites to expand your knowledge of measuremant.
