19. Too Much Bread? (Metric)
Week Overview
Students compare unit pricing using both metric and customary systems, exploring scenarios like ordering sandwiches, cakes, and other party supplies. Through calculations and conversions, they learn to evaluate the best deals and understand the importance of consistent measurements. Real-world cases, such as NASA’s Mars Climate Orbiter, highlight the consequences of measurement errors. (aligned with standards 4.M.1 and 5.M.4)
