Glad it went well. In your blog, you asked three questions. You'll have to do your own research, but my thoughts on the three: *"The military" is too broad. I think you'll find the Army is very metric, in particular using UTM maps with coordinates in meters. I think you will find the Navy and Air Force much more traditional, nautical miles and knots.
*Mile markers: If the road goes metric, they should change to kilometer markers. I would give priority to exit numbers and distance to destination signs first. The mile marker sticks wouldn't necessarily need to change on "day 1" but should be changed. Recipes: My recommendation for converting. First measure volumetrically, then weigh each ingredient as you go. Once you have all the weights, try to rationalize the recipe but slightly increasing or decreasing size of recipes to make most of the weights close to round numbers. ________________________________ From: LINDA <laander...@comcast.net> To: U.S. Metric Association <usma@colostate.edu> Sent: Monday, March 31, 2014 10:55 PM Subject: [USMA:53666] New blog on my experience presenting at the MidSchool Math conference on Friday In case anyone is interested:http://wp.me/p2Cv6M-yY Linda
