Before we learn anything first a game. To get from one shape to the next you have to “bridge” them by canceling out one shape to get to another. Start. Finish. Start. You try. Start. Finish. The cards can be flipped so the cards can be played like this. OR.

You try Start Finish

They can also be used in more than one at a time Start Finish

You try (a little bit harder) Start Finish
Factor Label is just as easy and is about the most useful thing you will learn in class all year. Factor label makes going from one unit to another EZ. For example converting 120 ml/sec to gal/min If you are planning to do math and science you WILL need to know how to do this.
mass 1 kg = 1000 g 1 g = 1000 mg 1 lb = 454 g length 1 km = 1000 m 1 m = 100 cm 1 m = 1000 mm 1 mi = 5280 ft 1 ft = 12 in 1 mi = 1.61 km 1 in = 2.54 cm volume 1 L = 1000 mL 1 L = 1.057 qt 1 gal = 4 qt Instead of shapes, we will be using CONVERSION FACTORS They are played just like cards 1 side of the equation is above the line and the other side is below it 12 in 1 ft or 12 in 1 ft
If I want to convert 3.5 feet into inches Start with what you are given 3.5 ft 1 Put it over 1 because it makes us happy
Convert 3.5 feet into inches 3.5 ft 1 Instead of canceling shapes, we need to cancel UNITS Which way should the card be played? 1 ft 12 in or 12 in 1 ft
If I want to convert 3.5 feet into inches 12 in 3.5 ft 1 1 ft What this really means is 12 in 3.5 ft = 3.5 x 12 / 1 / 1 = 42 in x 1 1 ft Cancel out units, then multiply the numbers on top together and divide by the numbers on bottom
THE STEPS EXAMPLE 3.6 g · 1 mass 1 kg = 1000 g 1 g = 1000 mg 1 lb = 454 g length 1 km = 1000 m 1 m = 100 cm 1 m = 1000 mm 1 mi = 5280 ft 1 ft = 12 in 1 mi = 1.61 km 1 in = 2.54 cm volume 1 L = 1000 mL 1 L = 1.057 qt 1 gal = 4 qt 3.) Look for an equation with the right units in it. Find a path to get to the desired units. Convert: 3.6 g into lb (pounds) 1.) Write the given over 1. 2.) Make a multiplication sign and a line next to it 1 lb 454 g 4.) Place the side of the equation on bottom that will cancel previous units. Put the other side on top. 5.) Cancel units 6.) Continue until only the desired units are left.
THE STEPS EXAMPLE Convert: 3.6 g into lb (pounds) 7.) Multiply the numbers on top and divide by the numbers on bottom. 3.6 g 1 lb · = .029 lb 1 454 g 3.6 · 1 (you can ignore the 1’s) 1 · 454
