Lesson 7- Units of Measurement

Video Math Tutor

This lesson consists of providing you with a Self-Tutorial of the basic units used in measurement. These are the ones I discuss:
Units of Time, Units of Length (Metric and U.S.), Units of Area (Metric and U.S.), Units of Volume (Metric and U.S.), Units of Mass (Metric and U.S.), Units of Liquid Capacity (Metric and U.S.), Units of Dry Capacity (Metric and U.S.), and other miscellaneous Units. Conversion Formulas and Abbreviations are also listed.

This is a "must have" Lesson for those moving on to solving Word Problems in Algebra and other higher math.
