C. Developing and SUB-TOPIC 1: Metric System to Metric System Conversion (30 minutes)
Deepening 1. Explicitation
Understanding Explain the concept of the metric system and its common units (e.g., meters,
grams, liters). Show students how to convert between metric units using
multiplication or division by powers of 10. Unit fractions may be used to convert
from one unit to another.
Another method is by moving the decimal point. Since all units in the metric
system are powers of 10, converting from one unit to another is as simple as
moving the decimal point.
To change from a smaller unit to a larger unit (for example, from meters to
kilometers), move the decimal point in the original quantity one place to the left
of each larger unit of measurement until you obtain the desired unit of
measurement.
To change from a larger unit to a smaller unit (for example, from kilometers
to meters), move the decimal point in the original quantity one place to the right
for each smaller unit of measurement until you obtain the desired unit of
measurement.

2. Worked Example
Convert 8 feet to inches.
Solution: Multiply 8 by a unit fraction that uses the equality 12 inches = 1 foot.
The unit fraction should be in the form:
In making conversions between the English system and the metric system, the
following unit fractions are used. These unit fractions are approximations.

Scenario: You're planning a family barbecue, and you need to know how to
convert cooking measurements from the metric system (used in the
Philippines) to the English system (commonly used in recipes). You will
demonstrate: Convert 500 grams (g) of chicken into ounces (oz) for your
barbecue recipe.
Steps:
1. Start by writing "500 grams" on the board or presentation slide.
2. Explain that in the Philippines, you often see food items measured in
grams, but many international recipes, including those from the United
States, use ounces for measuring ingredients.
3. Discuss the conversion factor: 1 gram is approximately equal to
0.03527396 ounces (or simply 1 g ≈ 0.035 oz).
4. Perform the conversion:
500 grams * 0.03527396 ounces/gram ≈ 17.64 ounces.
5. Write the converted value on the board: "500 grams is approximately equal
to 17.64 ounces."
6. Explain that when using international recipes, you might need to convert
ingredients from grams to ounces or vice versa. It's important to
understand how to do this to follow the recipe accurately.

In conclusion, the lesson on unit conversion within the metric system and across other systems has
equipped us with the knowledge and confidence to tackle many scenarios where unit conversion is essential.
It's a reminder that mathematics is not just numbers on paper; it's a dynamic tool that enriches our
understanding of the world around us. As we move forward, let's continue to embrace the power of unit
conversion, making measurements our allies in the global language of mathematics.
