Unit One: Measurement

Terminal Objective: Perform mathematical calculations and express answers in the proper format, using the most appropriate unit. Authentic Unit Assessment: Give the learner several scenarios and have them perform mathematical calculations and express their answers with the correct number of significant figures, using scientific notation where appropriate, for some scenarios it will be necessary for students to convert to a more appropriate unit. Enabling Objectives Assessment Idea Lesson 1.1: Significant Figures Express answers with the correct number of significant figures. Explain the usefulness of the Discussion concept of significant figures. State the rules for determining the number of significant figures in calculations. Select the significant figures in a measured number. Adjust calculated answers to give the correct number of significant figures. Mastery Quiz Absorb Activity Do Activity Connect Activity
