Unit Conversion Methods and Factors

This video tutorial covers Go Math Module 7, Lesson 3, focusing on converting units within a measurement system. The lesson is divided into sections, starting with an introduction and essential question. Students are instructed to prepare materials from the textbook. The video demonstrates converting yards to feet using a model, extends the lesson by writing ratios in fraction form, and uses proportions to convert pounds to ounces. It also covers converting feet to inches using both listing and proportion methods. The lesson concludes with a preview of the next day's content.
