What children learn in Level 49
- The metric system runs on place value, so it's built for the mill. Each unit has a base word: meter, gram, or liter.
- Prefixes change the size. Kilo means 1,000 times. Centi means 1 hundredth. Milli means 1 thousandth.
- We'll use charts like this one, so there's nothing to memorize. Length has the most units.
- Mass and liquid volume use the same prefixes.
Georgia's K-12 Mathematics Standards:
- 5.MDR.7.3 — Convert among units within the metric system and then apply these conversions to solve multistep, practical problems.
