Measurement Conversion Techniques

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 Go Math textbook. The tutorial demonstrates converting yards to feet using a model, extends ratios to fractions, and uses proportions to convert pounds to ounces. It also covers converting feet to inches using both listing and proportion methods. The session concludes with a summary and preview of the next lesson.
