Graphing Conversions video link
Dear Students,
After we practice converting formulas into various equations, taking problem situations and translating it into an equation and vice versa, we are now ready to look at different representations of data. We Will look at equations, graphs, tables, ordered pairs etc. and read information from the representations.
There are two videos to watch. One relates to graphs and the second video is basic conversion between systems. You will use this skill in both math and science.
Take notes in your spiral from both videos.
Graphs:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs4YuuTfPhQ Graphing conversions from pounds to kilograms.
What to take note of:
- Describe how you would use a Cartesian graph to determine conversions. (summarize)
- What would you do if you were asked for a conversion that in not included in the measurements of a graph? In other words, what is asked for is off the graph some place.
- Name at least five different conversions you could graph. The number is really endless, so be creative. Funny Money bonus bucks for conversions no one else lists.
Conversions:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKCZn5MLKvk
What to take note of:
- Write the “general formula” for converting from one unit of measure to another. Leave it blank, but labeled.
- Show one of the conversions the video demonstrated
- Using the “general formula” provided in the video, convert:
- 124 ounces to cups
- 12.5 years to months
- 9.5 cm to millimeters
- If you don’t know the unit rate for one of the conversions, google it!

Conversion video link
Dear student,
The link below will allow to watch a YouTube video on “Rewriting Formulas.” The state of Texas expects 7th grade students to:
7.4(A) generate formulas involving unit conversions within the same system (customary and metric), perimeter, area, circumference, volume, and scaling. This in Fenton Words means you can take a given formula and manipulate the numbers and variables so you can solve for any part of the formula asked for. I know you can do this!
Watch the video and take notes in your spiral from the first 5 examples. You were earn points on your related assignment for having notes.
Have a clean piece of notebook paper ready, with your NAME on it J. You will complete some sample problems 1-4 to turn in. The instructor will go over the answers so please pause the video when she indicates for you to do so. Please have your parent/guardian sign your sample problems.

Complete “Do Your Own, ” numbers 1-4 on notebook paper. Have parents initial notes. For full credit:
- Write the problem
- Circle the variable you are solving for
- Show all steps!
