Revisiting Metrics

Metric Weights and Measures

A millimicron is one thousandth of one millionth of one metre.

Most of the world uses the metric system. The only countries not on this system are the U.S., Burma, Liberia, Muscat, and South Yemen.

The metric system is based on 10s. For example, 10 decimetres make a metre (39.37 inches).

Units smaller than a meter have Latin prefixes:

• Deci- means 10; 10 decimeters make a meter.
• Centi- means 100; 100 centimeters make a meter.
• Milli- means 1,000; 1,000 millimeters make a meter.

Units larger than a metre have Greek prefixes:

• Deka- means 10; a dekameter is 10 meters.
• Hecto- means 100; a hectometer is 100 meters.
• Kilo- means 1,000; a kilometer is 1,000 meters.

Helpful Hints

Remember: A meter is a little more than a yard. A kilometer is less than a mile. A liter is a little more than a quart.

Math Problems

Kaylee and Jaylee are going to the playground.  Since Jaylee is 3 years old she wants to spend time in the jungle gym.  If she uses the slide for 20 minutes, the swings for thirty minutes and the climbing wall for 10 minutes, how long will she spend playing?

Next, Kaylee and Jaylee go to the mall. It takes 10 minutes to drive there and they arrive at 11:00 am. If they walk around and shop for an hour and a half, what time will it be when they finish?

The girls then go to get their hair washed and cut.  They get to the beauty salon at 1:15 pm. Since Jaylee is so little, Kaylee has to stay with her during her haircut.  Now it takes 30 minutes for Jaylee’s haircut, then 45 minutes for Kaylee’s haircut.  What time will it be when both girls are finished?

Kaylee and Jaylee want to go see a movie for the rest of the afternoon. If it costs $4.00 for an adult ticket and $2.75 for a child’s ticket, how much will it cost for both of them to see a movie?

Since this is a special day Kaylee and Jaylee want to have some treats during the movie.  If they buy a children’s drink for $1.25, an adult drink for $2.25 and popcorn for $4.00, what is the total amount they will spend for treats?

Now for some fresh air the girls go to colorful flowers in the park.  There are red, yellow, blue and pink flowers all around the lakeside. If each girl picks two flowers of each color, how many flowers will they have at the end?

Jaylee starts to notice that there are lots of trees everywhere, so starts to count them.  Since she is only three years old, she looses count easily. So, Kaylee makes her count to six, then start over. If she counts to six a total of 9 times, how many trees will she count?

Kaylee and Jaylee sit down to take a little rest from all the action, then they notice that school buses are coming to pick up a huge group of students from the park.  Together, they count a total of 12 busses, and Kaylee counts that there are 28 students getting on each bus, how many total students were picked up from the park?

Nutrition is one of the most complicated things that we have to decide in our daily life.
There are many choices for us every time we feel hungry, every time we enter the cafeteria, kitchen or store.  Sometimes we make the right choice, and other times we just eat whatever we want.

So, as we have discussed during Food Day and our Affairs of the Heart celebration, we must make good choices in abundance and poor choices in moderation.  Let's face it, no one will expect you to totally surrender cheese pizza, Lucas, or Sour Patch Kids completely from your diet.  But, it's reasonable to expect you to limit those things on a daily basis or even a weekly basis.

The website listed above offers us a good deal of resources and activities to help explain the importance of healthy living, healthy eating and proper exercise.

Justin Bieber Biography

An old soul is the last thing you would expect to find inside Justin Bieber. But all it takes is one listen to the 15 year-old soul-singing phenomenon to realize that he is light years ahead of his manufactured pop peers. After posting dozens of homemade videos on YouTube in 2007, where the multi-talented Bieber put his impeccable spin on songs from artists like Usher, Ne-Yo and Stevie Wonder, Justin racked up over 10,000,000 views purely from word of mouth.

“I started singing about three years ago,” says the Canadian native who grew up an only child in Stratford, Ontario. “I entered a local singing competition called Stratford Idol. The other people in the competition had been taking singing lessons and had vocal coaches. I wasn’t taking it too seriously at the time, I would just sing around the house. I was only 12 and I got second place.”

In an effort to share his victory with his loved ones, Justin began posting his performance footage online. “I put my singing videos from the competition on YouTube so that my friends and family could watch them,” he says. “But it turned out that other people liked them and they started subscribing to them. That’s how my manager found me. He saw me on YouTube and contacted my family and now I’m signed!”

Seven months after Justin started posting his videos online, former So So Def marketing executive Scooter Braun flew the then 13-year old singer to Atlanta, GA to meet with his elite colleagues. As if Justin’s natural singing talent wasn’t enough to impress Scooter’s inner circle, Braun knew Bieber was also a self-taught musician who plays the drums, guitar, piano and trumpet.

“Right when we flew into Atlanta, Scooter drove us to the studio and Usher was there in the parking lot,” remembers Bieber. “That was my first time ever being out of Canada so I went up to him and was like, ‘Hey Usher, I love your songs, do you want me to sing you one?’ He was like, ‘No little buddy, just come inside, it’s cold out.’”

All it took was a short time online for Usher to realize he was in the company of a future superstar. “A week later Usher flew me back to Atlanta,” says Bieber. “I sang for him and his people and he really wanted to sign me then and there but I still had a meeting with Justin Timberlake who also wanted to sign me. It turned out Usher’s deal was way better. He had L.A. Reid backing him up and Scooter had a lot of really good connections in Atlanta. I always tease Usher now and remind him how he blew me off the first time we met.”

In October of 2008, Justin Bieber officially signed to Island Records. His debut album, My World is an intimate look into the mind of a budding young renaissance man. With production from star hit men like The Dream and Tricky Stewart who produced “Umbrella” for Rihanna and Beyonce’s smash, “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It),” Justin has everything he needs to achieve pop supremacy.

His first single, “One Time” produced by Tricky, is about one of Justin’s favorite topics, puppy love. Usher joins Justin on “First Dance” where the two share verses on a song that Bieber describes as, “A slow groovy song that people can dance to.” On the Midi-Mafia produced “Down to Earth” Justin digs deep to talk about growing up. “Bigger” finds the teenaged singer maturing at a steady rate, while motivating his listeners to strive for their goals.

“I’m looking forward to influencing others in a positive way,” says Justin. “My message is you can do anything if you just put your mind to it. I grew up below the poverty line; I didn’t have as much as other people did. I think it made me stronger as a person it built my character. Now I have a 4.0 grade point average and I want to go to college and just become a better person.”

A virtually untapped well of natural artistic talent, Justin Bieber is primed to be a solid force in music for many years to come. “I think older people can appreciate my music because I really show my heart when I sing, and it’s not corny,” he says. “I think I can grow as an artist and my fans will grow with me.” And just think, he’s just getting started.
