Slide 2: METRIC SYSTEM UNITS: Meters>measures distance Liters>measures liquid volume Grams>measures mass Slide 3: THE METRIC SYSTEM IS BASED ON POWERS OF TEN 1000, 100, 10, 1, 0.1 0.01, 0.001 Kilo Hecto Deka UNITS Deci Centi Milli meters liters grams Slide 4: AN EASY WAY TO REMEMBER THE METRIC PREFIXES IS: Knights Kilo Hunt Hecto Dragons Deka Usually Units During Deci Cold Centi Mornings Milli Slide 5: DO YOU KNOW: Where the millimeters are located? Where the centimeters are located? Where the decimeters are located? How many millimeters are in a meter? How many centimeters are in a meter? How many decimeters are in a meter? Slide 6: Kilo Hecto Deka UNITS Deci Centi Milli • If you have 1 millimeter, and you want to find out how many centimeters that is, move the decimal point one place to the LEFT. So….1 millimeters moved one place to the left is: 1 . 0 What this means is that 1 mm is 0.1 of a cm. Slide 7: knights (kilo), hunt (hecto), dragons (deka), usually (UNITS), during (deci), cold (centi), mornings,(milli) If you have 1 mm and you want to know how many dm that is, move the decimal point two places to the LEFT. 00 1 • What this means is that 1 mm is 0.01 of a dm. • Do you get it? Slide 8: knights (kilo), hunt (hecto), dragons (deka), usually (UNITS), during (deci), cold (centi), mornings,(milli) If you have 1 mm and you want to know how many meters that is, move the decimal points three places to the LEFT. 0001 • What this means is 1 mm is 0.001 of a meter. • mmm..this is not easy- Slide 9: knights (kilo), hunt (hecto), dragons (deka), usually (UNITS), during (deci), cold (centi), mornings,(milli) If you have 1 mm and you want to know how many dkm, move the decimal point four places to the LEFT. 00001 • What this means is that 1 mm is 0.0001 of a dkm. • I think I’m getting it! Slide 10: knights (kilo), hunt (hecto), dragons (deka), usually (UNITS), during (deci), cold (centi), mornings,(milli) If you have 1 mm and you want to know how many hm that is, move the decimal point 5 places to the LEFT. 000001 • What this means is that 1 mm is 0.00001 of a hm. • Piece of cake! Slide 11: knights (kilo), hunt (hecto), dragons (deka), usually (UNITS), during (deci), cold (centi), mornings,(milli) If you have 1 mm and you want to know how many km that is, move the decimal point six places to the left. 0000001 • What this means is that 1 mm is 0.000001 of a km. • The decimal point has a long way to travel! Slide 12: knights (kilo), hunt (hecto), dragons (deka), usually (UNITS), during (deci), cold (centi), mornings,(milli) If you have 1 km and you want to know how many hm that is, move the decimal point one place to the RIGHT. 1 • 0 What this means is that 1 km is the same as 10 hm. • Now we’re going from bigger to smaller units. Slide 13: knights (kilo), hunt (hecto), dragons (deka), usually (UNITS), during (deci), cold (centi), mornings,(milli) If you have 1 km and you want to know how many dkm that is, move the decimal point two places to the RIGHT. 1 • 00 What this means is that 1 km is the same as 100 dkm. • Yeah! I got it! You are multiplying so the number gets bigger. Slide 14: knights (kilo), hunt (hecto), dragons (deka), usually (UNITS), during (deci), cold (centi), mornings,(milli) If you have 1 km and you want to know how many meters that is, move the decimal point three places to the RIGHT. 1 • 0 0 0 • What this means is that 1 km is the same as 1000 meters. I got it too! Slide 15: knights (kilo), hunt (hecto), dragons (deka), usually (UNITS), during (deci), cold (centi), mornings,(milli) If you have 1 km and you want to know how many dm that is, move the decimal point four places to the RIGHT. 1 • 0 0 0 0 • What this means is that 1 km is the same as 10,000 dm. Slide 16: knights (kilo), hunt (hecto), dragons (deka), usually (UNITS), during (deci), cold (centi), mornings,(milli) If you have 1 km and you want to know how many cm that is, move the decimal point five places to the RIGHT. 1 • 0 0 0 0 0 • What this means is that 1 km is the same as 100,000 cm. Slide 17: knights (kilo), hunt (hecto), dragons (deka), usually (UNITS), during (deci), cold (centi), mornings,(milli) If you have 1 km and you want to know how many mm that is, move the decimal point six places to the RIGHT. 1 • 0 0 0 0 0 0 • What this means is that 1 km is the same as 1,000,000 mm. I wonder if I can do this on my own now?? Slide 18: TRY SOLVING THESE PROBLEMS: (Try to solve the problem before you hit the right arrow.) 0.428 cm = ? mm 79.3 dm = ? hm So far so good? 17 mm = ? km 237.6 dkm = ? dm 0.006 cm = ? m 428 mm 000793 hm K H D U D C M 0 000017 km (NOTE: Do you see the random decimal point? Ignore it.) 23760 dm 000006 cm Slide 19: ARE YOU STILL CONFUSED? CHECK OUTAND REVIEW THE POWERPOINT ONLINE. You do not have the permission to view this presentation.
