Summary

What if I told you a movie was a whopping 0.017 long? Could you figure out the unit I’m using? This lesson packs in strange measurements of time as well as tiny decimals.

  1. I tell students that I've just finished an epic movie that was 0.017 long. They have to determine which unit I'm using.
  2. I offer some scaffolding help to get kids started on their unit conversions (not necessary for all students).
  3. Then, we wonder how long this movie would be if measured in months?
  4. Now, we determine the length of the movie when measured in days on Venus!
  5. Finally, students can pick their own unit of time to measure the length of this long movie.
