Introduction to Measurement Grade 6 Measurement Unit

What are some things you think of when you think of measurements?

What you need to know First things, you need to understand the basics There are two systems of measurement US/Customary System which is only used in the US Then there is the metric system which is used all over the world and here

Measurement Basics Length: is the distance of something measured Volume/Capacity: how much something can hold ( generally liquid) Weight: how much something weighs Mass: how much space something takes up

Metric System The metric system has base unit and many different prefixes

Metric Units of Measurement Meters: Measures length Liters: Measures volume or capacity Grams: measures weight/mass

Units of Measurement: Volume Metric System Liters

Units of Measurement: Length Metric Meters

Units of Measurement: Weight/Mass Metric Gram

Metric System Prefixes Mili- 1/1000, which means that 1000mm=1m Centi- 1/100, which means that 100cg=1g Deci- 1/10, which means that 10dl=1l Deka- 10, which means that 1dkm=10m Hecto- 100, which means that 1hg=100g Kilo- 1000, which means that 1kl=1000l
