Measuring Up- Metric vs. English System

Measuring Up There are two common systems of measurement: English and Metric (AKA : Standard International) There are six categories of measurement:: Length, volume, weight, mass, time and temperature.

Length English: inch- length of your foot foot- height of a kindergarten student yard- length of football field mile- distance between cities

Length Metric System: millimeter- length of insect wing centimeter- length of a desk meter- length of swimming pool kilometer- distance between cities

Using a Ruler Inches vs. Centimeters: Inches are broken into sixteen parts We use fractions Centimeters are broken into ten parts We use decimals

Using a Ruler 23.5 cm 1 4/16 in = 1 ¼ in 21.7 cm

Volume English System: gallon- milk quart- ice cream pint- sour cream cup- sugar/flour ounce- can of pop

Volume Metric System: milliliter- medicine dose liter- pop

Weight English System (only): ton-ship pound-human ounce-fruit

Mass Metric System (only): milligram- medicine gram- food kilogram- human

Time English and Metric: second, minute, hour, day, month, year, decade, century. The Standard International unit of time is seconds.

Temperature English System: Fahrenheit 32ºF = Freezing Metric System: Celsius 0ºC = Freezing
