Objective: Use measurement tools to convert mixed number measurements to smaller units.
Students partition a measurement scale in Lesson 11 to help them convert larger units of measurements with fractional parts into smaller units. For example, students will use a ruler to draw a number line 1 foot in length. Then, students will partition the number line into 12 equal parts. Combining fractions and conversions, students will see that 1 twelfth foot is the same as 1 inch. Repeating the same activity, but making different partitions, students will find how many inches are in 1/2 foot, 1/3 foot, and 1/4 foot.
