Units of Measurement

  • There are three main types of measurement: length, mass, and capacity.
  • Each has a standard unit: metre (m), gram (g), and litre (L).
  • Smaller units: milli (1/1000), centi (1/100), deci (1/10).
2

Conversion of Units

  • To convert bigger units to smaller units, multiply (e.g., km to m).
  • To convert smaller units to bigger units, divide (e.g., cm to m).
  • Use decimal notation to make conversions easier.

Operations with Metric Measures

  • We can add, subtract, multiply, and divide measurements using decimal notation.
