TLE DRESSMAKING 7 - Lesson 6 APPLYING THE SYSTEM OF MEASUREMENT
Summary
TLDRThis educational video introduces an exploratory dress making and tailoring course for grades 7 and 8. It focuses on the application of two measurement systems: the metric, using centimeters, and the English, using inches. The video explains the decimal nature of the metric system, with centimeters divided into 10 equal parts, and contrasts it with the English system, where an inch is divided into eight parts. It also highlights the importance of a metric conversion chart for accurate body measurements and material dimensions in dress making, involving basic mathematical operations like multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction.

Outlines
π Introduction to Measurement Systems in Dress Making
This lesson, designed for grades 7 and 8, introduces students to the world of dress making and tailoring. It focuses on the application of two primary systems of measurement: the metric and the English system. The metric system, which is a decimal system, is based on the meter and more commonly uses the centimeter as a unit of measurement. The lesson explains that the metric system divides a centimeter into 10 equal parts, each representing a millimeter. The English system, on the other hand, uses inches as its basic unit, which is less frequently used in dress making but still relevant for some designers. The lesson provides a detailed breakdown of how to read measurements in both systems, with examples of how a centimeter is divided into millimeters and how an inch is divided into eighths. The importance of using a metric conversion chart for accurate measurements in dress making is also emphasized, highlighting the mathematical operations such as multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction involved in the process. The lesson concludes with a reminder of the fundamental operations and a thank you note from the instructor, Mylene.
π Conclusion of the Lesson
The second paragraph is a brief and simple conclusion to the video script, where the instructor bids farewell to the viewers with a 'bye', signaling the end of the lesson.

dress making and tailoring exploratory
course for grade 7 and 8
lesson 6. our topic is
applying the system of measurement
apply the systems of measurements
there are two systems of measurement the
metric system
and the english system the metric system
is a decimal system of measures
based on unit of length known as meter
from the greek word metron which
means measure the unit of measurement
more commonly used is
centimeter
the second system of measurement is the
english system
the basic unit of english system is the
inches
however it is not frequently used in
dress making
it is utilized by some of the designers
here is the example of the metric system
it is the centimeter
the metric system or the centimeter has
10 equal parts
the first line is one millimeter the
second line is two millimeters
the third line is three millimeters the
fourth line is four millimeters
the fifth line is five millimeters or
one
half centimeter the sixth line is six
millimeters
the seventh line is seven millimeters
the eighth line is eight millimeters the
ninth line
is nine millimeters and the tenth line
is the ten millimeters or one centimeter
here is an example of an english system
how to read an inch an inch has eight
equal parts
these are categorized as the first line
is 1 8 inch the second line
is 1 4 inch the third line is 3
8 inch and the fourth line
is four over eight or one half of an
inch the fifth line is five over eight
the sixth line is three-fourth the
seventh line
is seven over eight and the eight line
is
one inch
metric conversion chart mathematical
application is used in order to have an
accurate division of the measurements of
body parts
and at the same time in measuring the
length and width of the materials
in this process the four fundamentals of
operations such as multiplication
division addition and subtraction is
involved
