  1. The Metric Measurement

  2. Our money system is also a base 10 system • Ex. It takes 10 pennies to equal 1 dime. • A dime is 10x more than a penny. If a dime is = 1 than a penny is 0.1

  3. Meter • The entire stick is 1 meter.

  4. Liter • The bottle is 1 liter. • About equal to 1 US quart.

  5. Gram • The gold square is 1 gram. • About equal to the mass of a large paper clip.

  6. Celsius & Kelvin • Take Celsius and add 273 to get Kelvin. • The Kelvin scale measures absolute zero.

  7. Bigger than the standard • Kilo = 1,000 • If you had 1,000 of the gold squares you would have a kilogram of gold.

  8. Bigger than the standard • Hecto = 100 • If you had 100 of the gold squares you would have a hectogram of gold.

  9. Bigger than the standard • Deka = 10 • If you had 10 of the gold squares you would have a dekagram of gold.

  10. Smaller than the standard Milli = 1/1000 or .001 • Contains 1000 millimeter markings (smallest lines)on the stick.

  11. Smaller than the standard Centi = 1/100 or .01 • Contains 100 centimeter markings. • Numbered markings 1to the end of stick (100)

  12. Smaller than the standard Deci = 1/10 or .1 • Contains 10 decimeter markings. • Every 10th centimeter is denoted as a decimeter by it's bigger font.

  13. Reading Metric Units mg = milligram • m is for the prefix milli and g is the standard for gram dkL = dekaLiter • dk is for the prefix deka and L is the standard for liter g = gram • Gram is the standard for mass.
