  11. Metric System • Metric system is based on the power of 10. • Meter is a measure of length. • Gram is a measure of mass. • Liter is a measure of liquid volume.

  12. Prefixes

  13. Converting Units • To convert from one unit to another is like walking up and down steps. • Going Up • When going from a smaller unit to a larger unit, you move UP the steps and the decimal moves to the LEFT. • Going Down • When going from a larger unit to a smaller unit, you move DOWN the steps and the decimal moves to the RIGHT.

  14. What to do first in the problem4.5 m = __ cm ? Start here at Meters and Move DOWN to Centimeters. Decimal place moves to the RIGHT the same number of steps. • Find the measurement your starting with on the ladder. • Find the measurement you are converting to on the ladder. • Identify if you are moving up or down the ladder. • Then identify if you are moving your decimal to the right or left. Kilo Hecto Deka • Base Units Include: • Gram • Liter • Meter Base Deci 4.5 Centi Milli

  15. 1 2 3 MetersLitersGrams How do you use the “ladder” method? 1st – Determine your starting point. 2nd – Count the “jumps” to your ending point. 3rd – Move the decimal the same number of jumps in the same direction.

  16. Practice • 3 meters = ______ centimeters • 40 liters = ______ deciliters • 600 milligrams = _______ grams • 5 kilometers = __________ hectometers • 70 centimeters = _________ meters

  17. Compare using <, >, or =. 56 cm 6 m 7 g 698 mg Conversion Practice Try these conversions using the ladder method. 1000 mg = _______ g 1 L = _______ mL 160 cm = _______ mm 14 km = _______ m 109 g = _______ kg 250 m = _______ km

  18. Metric Conversion Challenge Write the correct abbreviation for each metric unit. 1) Kilogram _____ 4) Milliliter _____ 7) Kilometer _____ 2) Meter _____ 5) Millimeter _____ 8) Centimeter _____ 3) Gram _____ 6) Liter _____ 9) Milligram _____ Try these conversions, using the ladder method. 10) 2000 mg = _______ g 15) 5 L = _______ mL 20) 16 cm = _______ mm 11) 104 km = _______ m 16) 198 g = _______ kg 21) 2500 m = _______ km 12) 480 cm = _____ m 17) 75 mL = _____ L 22) 65 g = _____ mg 13) 5.6 kg = _____ g 18) 50 cm = _____ m 23) 6.3 cm = _____ mm 14) 8 mm = _____ cm 19) 5.6 m = _____ cm 24) 120 mg = _____ g

  19. Compare using <, >, or =. 25) 63 cm 6 m 27) 5 g 508 mg 29) 1,500 mL 1.5 L 26) 536 cm 53.6 dm 28) 43 mg 5 g 30) 3.6 m 36 cm
