Throughout this unit, you will study many kinds of formulas. You will learn to identify the parts that make up a formula and create your own formulas. You will help with the construction of a movie set by creating a formula for determining the numbers of blue andwhite tiles and metal rods needed.
Do you know how to find the area of a lichen, a fungus that grows nearly everywhere? Scientists use the size of a lichen to calculate how long ago a glacier disappeared.
You will also work with formulasthat someone else created, such as a formula for converting from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit and formulas that archaeologists use to re-create ancient Egyptian drawings.Upon completing this unit, you should understand the meanings of the different parts of a formula, how to graph formulas, how to rewrite formulas, and how to use formulas that you find.
