Measurement+Supplemental+Lessons

A group of ASD teachers created these lessons to address the Alaska 8th grade Measuerment GLEs. Remember to have the students practice using the SBA reference sheet.

MEA-1 The student demonstrates understanding of measurable attributes by converting measurements within the same system (English or metric)

MEA-2 The student uses measurement techniques by using scale drawings involving indirect measurement (determining the scale factor and applying it to find missing dimension)
