On Monday, we sat down and took a kilogram apart. A kilogram is a unit that is used to measure weight. Often grocery store items are measured in kilograms. We learned that:
1 kg = 1 kilogram!
By decomposing a kilogram we discovered that:
1 kilogram = 1,000 grams or
1 kg = 1 g!
We also determined that 100 grams could go into a kilogram 10 times and 10 grams could go into 100 grams 10 times! Check out these mathematicians at work!
Thank you EngageNy.Org for the wonderful lesson idea!
