Metric units Kilo- The base unit for length is metre. The metric system of measurement is based on powers of ten and uses the following prefixes: meaning 1000 Centi- meaning one hundredth Milli- meaning one thousandth Micro- meaning one millionth These prefixes are then followed by a base unit. metre. The base unit for mass is gram. gram. The base unit for capacity is litre. litre.
Metric units of length 1 kilometre (km) = Metric units used for length are kilometres, metres, centimetres and millimetres. 1000 metres (m) 1 metre (m) = 100 centimetres (cm) 1 metre (m) = 1000 millimetres (cm) 1 centimetre (cm) = 10 millimetres (cm)
Metric units of length A race track measures 400 m. An athlete runs 2.6 km around the track. How many laps is this? 400 m = 0.4 km Number of laps = 2.6 ÷ 0.4 = 6.5 laps The following day the athlete completes 8 laps. How many km is this? 8 laps = 8 × 0.4 m = 3.2 km
Metric units of mass 1 tonne = Metric units used for mass are tonnes, kilograms and grams and milligrams. 1000 kilograms (kg) 1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams (g) 1 gram (g) = 1000 milligrams (mg)
Metric units of mass 60 tea bags weigh 150 g. How much would 2000 tea bags weigh in kg? We can solve this problem using a unitary method. 60 tea bags weigh 150 g So, 1 tea bag weighs (150 ÷ 6) g = 2.5 g Therefore, 2000 tea bags weigh (2.5 × 2000) g = 5000 g = 5 kg
Metric units of capacity 1 litre (l) = Capacity is a measure of the amount of liquid that a 3-D object can hold. Metric units of capacity are litres (l), centilitres (cl) and millilitres (ml). 100 centilitres (cl) 1 litre (l) = 1000 millilitres (ml) 1 centilitre (cl) = 10 millilitres (ml)
Metric units of capacity A bottle contains 750 ml of orange squash. The label says: Dilute with 4 parts water. How many of litres of drink can be made with one bottle? If the whole bottle was made up we would have 750 ml of squash + (4 × 750) ml of water = 750 ml of squash + 3000 ml of water = 3750 ml of drink = 3.75 l of drink

Estimating measurements The height of a door is about 2 m. The mass of a large bag of sugar is 1 kg. A tea spoon holds 5 ml of liquid. Most adults between 1.5 and 1.8 m tall. A small car weighs about 1 tonne. The mass of a large bag of sugar is 1 kg. The area of a football pitch is 7500 m2. The capacity of a can of drink is 330ml. It takes about 20 minutes to walk one mile. When we estimate measurements we usually compare known measurements to find unknown measurements. Some useful measurements to know are:

Measuring angles An angle is a measure of turn and is usually measured in degrees. A full turn measures 360°. 360°
Measuring angles An angle is a measure of turn and is usually measured in degrees. A quarter turn measures 90°. It is called a right angle. 90° We label a right angle with a small square.
Measuring angles An angle is a measure of turn and is usually measured in degrees. A half turn measures 180°. This is a straight line. 180°
