Unit Conversion - Intro

This math unit focuses on developing skills in unit conversions, beginning with simpler tasks using single ratios and progressing to more complex scenarios involving two ratios. Initially, students practice setting up and solving unit rate conversion problems with one ratio, learning how to handle different units such as yards per second and feet per second, and converting between time and length measurements. As they advance through the unit, they start dealing with real-world contexts, applying their conversion skills to practical situations involving speeds and distances. Towards the later part of the unit, the complexity increases as students work with two ratios in their conversions. They tackle more challenging exercises, which require understanding and setting up problems involving multiple units and steps, such as converting rates involving different measurements systems like feet per second into yards per minute. The unit culminates with students solving word problems that require applying dual ratios to find the correct answers, enhancing their ability to perform multidimensional analysis and proportional reasoning in practical scenarios.
