THE UNIT CONVERSION TUTOR - LEARNING BY EXAMPLE

THE UNIT CONVERSION TUTOR - WORKING WITH THE METRIC SYSTEM

Working With the Metric System

Unit conversion requirements for math
Improve problem-solving skills
Learn to solve problems step-by-step & line-by-line
Working example problems of increasing difficulty
Learn the concepts of Scientific Notation, The Metric System & Unit Conversions

Unit conversions are used in every branch of math and science including Algebra, Calculus, Physics and chemistry. However, in most cases the unit conversions themselves are not taught in any class in particular; but are critical for understanding and solving Scientific Notation and applying the SI (metric) system.

This series teaches the techniques of the most common unit conversions by fully worked example problems. The strategy associated with unit conversions is emphasized so that students will be comfortable applying any conversion factor necessary to solve the problem.

The Unit Conversion Tutor Series is a complete 8 lesson series covering all of the core topics in detail. What sets this series apart from other teaching tools is that the concepts are taught entirely through step-by-step example problems of increasing difficulty. It works by introducing each new concept in an easy to understand way and using example problems that are worked out step-by-step and line-by-line to completion. If a student has a problem with coursework or homework, simply find a similar problem fully worked on in the series and review for the steps needed to solve the problem.

This series is best used in order from Volume 1 through Volume 8.

Unit Conversion Tutor:The Metric System and SI Units

When working in science and engineering, the use of the metric system and the SI system of units is critical. This section teaches all of the prefixes in the metric system such as “milli-“, “micro-“, “kilo-“, etc, and proceeds to use these in numerous example problems. At the end of the section students will be very comfortable with the metric system and the SI system of units.
