Pt1420 Unit 4

The International System of Units, also known as the metric system, is used by 95% of the world. No wonder it is called the “international” system of measurement. It is the 21st century, and as the world of science and technology is rapidly growing, the popularity of the metric system is rising. America’s stubbornness and

The stage 4 mathematics Unit of Work (UoW) “Unit 10 Measurement, Length, Perimeter and Area” implements an array of concepts to aid the students to learn multidimensional mathematics through applying an Aboriginal perspective. These concepts that are outlined are the choice of and conversion between metric units, establishing and using formulae to solve perimeter and areas of squares, rectangles and triangles, utilising pi and solving perimeters of circles and solving problems using perimeter, area and circumference. Although the unit mentions the importance of the use the Mathematics problem solving there is a majority of content that is missing on the cultural aspect of mathematics as it highlights the prominent use of one-dimensional Mathematics.

American students going into science and math fields have to learn both systems of measurements. The U.S. spends so much time educating its kids in customary conversions, when it could use that time to teach improved curriculum and better prepare future generations (“The United States and the Metric System”). Also, conversion errors have once cost NASA $125 million dollars. A 1999 Mars orbiter crashed due to some of the engineers using customary measurements, while the rest of the crew used metric (Rigsby). Instead of losing precious time and money trying to convert between two systems, America needs to convert to

Different care strategies can be used to support a person that has MS and type 1 diabetes

As a new recruit working in a public service you have been asked to investigate the response to emergency service incidents.

Answer: As we know, we can calculate the period, if the frequency of the signal is given by the formula

How do reading specialist work with their district to choose assessments that align with curriculum to help inform instruction?

Unit 2 was somewhat challenging, having to do the our first programming assignment was confusing at first, after doing all the reading and the quiz, I was still trying to assimilate all the new terms, what they meant and how would use it in the future.

What are the purposes of criminal law and how do they compare to the purposes of civil law?

My current plan as far as working on the thesis will involve meeting with Grandpa once or twice a week, bringing an audio recorder with me to capture conversations we’ll be having about various events in his life. The original plan was to bring my laptop and type down every point he made in time with him making them, but on advice from close friends who convinced me about those negatives associated with going such a route I opted against this strategy after realizing that would not be the greatest approach to take. The way I saw it, doing so would open up those possibilities connected to not keeping up with him as he spoke. If I couldn’t maintain a steady enough pace to document everything he said as he spoke it and made him wait for me to catch

Basically a break statement is used to exit the current executing loop, only the inner most loop is terminated. For example look at the following code

I will start by telling you about the need for the U.S. to convert to the metric system. The U.S. is one of only 3 countries that still use imperial units and it’s harder

How many 16ths of an inch are in a mile? How many fluid ounces in a cubic inch? What is the conversion factor between degrees celsius and degrees Fahrenheit? These are some of the terrible questions that plague only the minds of people in three countries in the world: the United States of America, Myanmar, and Liberia. All 193 of the other countries in the world use the metric system. The United States of America should convert to the metric system because of the following reasons: it is the global and scientific standard, it is much easier to use, not using it causes US consumers and businesses to lose money, and our lack of familiarity with it is part of the reason why our students lag so far behind much of the rest of the world in STEM

Also, schools are already teaching the metric system along with the English system in day to day classes. Aside from education, almost all, water bottles, thermometers, and food bags already include metric measurements along side them.

understand the need for measuring with standard units and become familiar with standard units in the customary and metric systems;
