EXAMINE YOUR METRIC MEASUREMENT
LEARNING SKILLS
FOR EVERYDAY USE IN AMERICA
Choose From the Following Subjects

    Like a dollar has 100 cents a meter in length
also has 100 cm (100 centimeters)

Centimeters are precise for measuring
sewing patterns, your height, your waist
and for altering clothes.

Snowfall is measured in centimeters (cm)

Rainfall is measured in millimeters (mm)

Smaller Measurement from a centimeter

1 millimeter
(1 mm)

Remember, milli is the prefix meaning
1 one thousandth (0.001).
So 1 one thousandth of the
base unit meter,
being 1 millimeter is simply written 1 mm

 Larger Measurement from a centimeter

1 meter
(1 m)

Remember meter is the
base unit for Length
and all other Units are derived from it.
There are exactly 100 cm (centimeters)
in  1 m (meter)
and there are exactly 1000 mm
(millimeters) in 1 m (meter)

Larger Measurement from a meter

1 kilometer
(1 km)

Remember, kilo is the prefix meaning
1000 times as much.
So, one thousand meters (1000 m) being
the length of 1 kilometer,
is simply written 1 km which is pronounced
"KILL-oh-meet-ur" NOT "kill-AH-mit-ur".
