Self check

After completing the exercises, use this checklist to evaluate your mastery of the objectives of this section.

This is a table that has seven rows and four columns. In the first row, which is a header row, the cells read from left to right “I can…,” “Confidently,” “With some help,” and “No-I don’t get it!” The first column below “I can…” reads “define US units of measurement and convert from one unit to another,” “use US units of measurement,” “define metric units of measurement and convert from one unit to another,” “use metric units of measurement,” “convert between the US and the metric system of measurement,” and “convert between Fahrenheit and Celsius temperatures.” The rest of the cells are blank.

Overall, after looking at the checklist, do you think you are well-prepared for the next Chapter? Why or why not?
