S/C** I can convert between units where appropriate I know the difference between standard and non-standard units
 * To use measures


 * // I'm sorry to miss Mathex again- I'm interviewing people! Please leave me your book at the end of today's session- I'm looking forward to giving you some feedback. Final Olympiad next week... //

Today, I'd like you to continue looking at measures...**

This could be useful... [|Measures conversion]

//__You have a lot to do today;__//

1. Make sure you have checked your reflection page for your 'Statistical Inquiry' feedback. If it is there, please add it to your eportfolio. 2. Your Voicethread could do with some more reflection; Three key questions could be used... a) Think about statistical inquiry; What did you do well during the 2 investigations? b) Think about statistical inquiry;What do you still need to work on? c) What do you 'wonder' about measures?
 * Administration tasks;**

__PART 1; Find, calculate or estimate the measures and units for the following events.__ - the speed of a bullet from a gun in units OTHER than m/s - the rate that a bath fills in units OTHER than L/min - the growing speed of bamboo in units OTHER than cm/day - the rate a cup of coffee cools at room temp in units OTHER than degrees C/min - the speed of Usain Bolt in the 100m in units OTHER than m/s - the crawling speed of a snail or slug in units OTHER than m/hour For each problem, come up with 2 answers; one with reasonably sensible units, the other with more 'imaginative' ones (BUT plausible!)
 * Measures tasks (You only need to do 3 out of the 6- you can choose which);**

__PART 2; Envious of Smoot?__ Find something in school which you would like named after you and measure it in your own units! How many Yaos long is a netball court? How many Attards tall are the rugby posts? How many LTangs long is the hall? What would it be if converted to JTangs? Convert your unit of measure and create a conversion chart for your measure, compared to other Y8 Mathex student measures.
