  1. Metrics & Measurement Review

  2. Basic Metric Units Basic Unit for Length = Meter (m) Basic Unit for Volume = Liter (l) Basic Unit for Mass = Gram (g)

  3. Metric Prefixes Kilo- Hecto- Deka- deci- centi- milli-

  4. Metric Prefixes -meter -liter -gram Kilo- Hecto- Deka- deci- centi- milli- Kilometer Kiloliter Kilogram Hectometer Hectoliter Hectogram Dekameter Dekaliter Dekagram decimeter deciliter decigram centimeter centiliter centigram millimeter milliliter milligram

  5. Metric Prefixes Kilo- Hecto- Deka- deci- centi- milli- 1000 x the base unit 100 x the base unit 10 x the base unit 1/10 of the base unit 1/100 of the base unit 1/1000 of the base unit

  6. Remembering the Metric Prefixes Kilo- Hecto- Deka- deci- centi- milli- King Henry Died By Drinking Chocolate Milk

  7. Converting Between Metric Units K H DByd c m 123 cm = __?__ Dm To convert centimeters to Dekameters Need to move 3 spaces to the left One decimal place left makes it 12.3 Two decimal places left makes it 1.23 And three decimal places left makes it .123 So, 123 cm = .123 Dm

  8. Converting Between Metric Units K H DByd c m .456 Kl = __?__ Dl To convert Kiloliters to Dekaliters Need to move 2 spaces to the right One decimal place right makes it 4.56 And two decimal places right makes it 45.6 So, .456 Kl = 45.6 Dl

  9. Converting Between Metric Units K H DByd c m .789 Kg = __?__ mg To convert from Kilograms to milligrams Need to move 6 spaces to the right After moving 3 decimal places right you get 789 but are out of numbers So, you have to add three more zeroes to move the last three decimal places right So, .789 Kg = 789,000 mg

  10. Converting Between Metric Units K H DByd c m 24.6 cm = __?__ Hm To convert from centimeters to Hectometers Need to move 4 spaces to the left After moving 2 decimal places left you get .246 but are out of numbers So, you have to add two more zeroes to move the last two decimal places left So, 24.6 cm = .00246 Hm

  11. Remember . . . A meter is . . . about the height of a tennis net. A centimeter is . . . about the width of a paperclip. A kilometer is . . . about 5 city blocks.

  12. Remember . . . A mililiter is about. . . a medicine dropper full. A liter is . . . about a bottle of pop. Kiloliters would be . . . how you would measure the water in a pool.

  13. And Remember . . . A milligram is . . . about the mass of a grain of salt. A gram is . . . about the mass of a paperclip. A kilogram is . . . about the mass of a baseball.

  14. Good Luck !!!!
