The Metric

SystemIm ten times better than the Standard systemof measurement!

Lets do some review work

before we begin.

Nice Job!If you canmultiply & divide

by 10 (or any power of 10), then

the metric systemwill be easy for

you


28/58

THE METER

The meter is the starting point

for the metric system.

START


29/58

Heres a meter stick!


30/58

It takes 10 decimeters to

make up 1 meter.


31/58

It takes 10 centimeters to

make up 1 decimeter.


32/58

If 1 meter = 10 decimetersand

1 decimeter = 10 centimetersthen how many centimeters

make up 1 meter?


33/58


34/58

100centimeters = 1 meter


35/58


36/58

If 1 meter = 10 decimeters

and1 decimeter = 10 centimeters

and1centimeter = 10 millimeters

then how many millimeters

make up 1 meter?


37/58

Thats right!1000 millimeters = 1 meter


38/58

It takes 10 millimeters to makeup 1 centimeter.

Millimeters are so small that

they almost run together


39/58

Now lets take acloser look at somemeasuring devices.


40/58

This is a magnified image

of a ruler/meter stick.

1

This is one centimeter.

2 3 4


41/58



1

This is half of a centimeter.

2 3 4


42/58



1

This is one millimeter.

2 3 4

Thi k


43/58

1 2 3 4

This keymeasures 3 cm.

O ld


44/58

1 2 3 4

Or you could saythat it measures30 mm.


45/58

O ld


46/58

1 2 3 4

Or, you could saythat it measures25 mm.


47/58

1 2 3 4

This toy car measures 4.2 cm.


48/58

1 2 3 4

Or, you could say it measures 42 mm.


49/58

The metric system deals with

powers of 101 meter =

10 decimeters =100 centimeters =

1000 millimeters


50/58

How many centimeters

make up 2 meters?


51/58

Thats right! There are

200 centimeters in 2meters.


52/58

How many millimeters

make up 2 meters?


53/58


2000 millimeters in 2meters.


54/58

How many decimeters

make up 2 meters?


55/58


20 decimeters in 2meters.


56/58

The metric system reallyis 10 times better than our

standard system of measurement. It is veryeasy to convert from one

unit to another.


57/58

You must simplymultiply by 10, 100, or

1000.

OR

You must simply divide

by 10 100 or 1000


58/58

The end.
