In this Try This activity you will test your skill in estimating length using SI and imperial units. If possible, work with a partner.

TT 1. Complete Estimating Length Using SI and Imperial Units.

Have a discussion with your partner about the estimates you made. What units did each of you use in your estimates? How did your length estimates compare to your partner’s? Did you use the same units your partner used? Did you find some units easier to use for estimating than others? For example, can you visualize an inch more easily than a centimetre?

Write a couple of sentences to summarize your discussion. Describe how you would decide the best units for estimating a given length or distance. Feel free to use examples in your summary.

Save your worksheet and your discussion summary in your course folder.
