This document discusses metric units of measurement and converting between metric units. It begins by defining the metric system and listing common prefixes used in the system such as kilo, centi, and milli. It then identifies common metric units for length, mass, capacity, and volume. The document provides examples of converting between units like meters to centimeters, kilograms to tonnes, and liters to milliliters. It includes activities that have students doing conversions in the textbook. Finally, it discusses reflecting on understanding of the lesson objectives using a RAG method and lists homework problems.

Calculators 10.1 Units of Measurement 10.2 Converting Between Metric Units Learning Objectives: • Decide which units to use when measuring length, weight and capacity • Convert from one metric unit to another
Keywords: • Metric system, length, mass, volume, and capacity. Warm up Activity
Write down the answers of the following questions.
1. Work out the following and check your answers on the calculator. a) 2×1000 b) 0.3×100 c) 7÷1000 d) 20÷100 2. What do the following prefixes mean? a) kilo. How many metres are there in a kilometre? b) centi. How many centimetres are there in a metre? c) milli. How many millimetres are there in a metre? Decide which Units to Use when Measuring Length, Weight and Capacity What is a metric system? The metric system is a widely adopted international system of measurement except for the United States. Metric systems of units have evolved since they were first adopted in France in 1795. The metric system is a decimal measuring system which is based on powers of ten and uses the following prefixes:
These prefixes are then followed by a base unit.
Decide which Units to Use when Measuring Length, Weight and Capacity What are the common metric units? Length – a measure of distance Millimetre mm Centimetre cm Metre m Kilometre km Mass – linked to weight Gram g Kilogram kg Tonne t Capacity – the amount of liquid a 3D shape will hold Millilitre Centilitre Litre Convert from One Metric Unit to Another What are the metric units for length? Convert from One Metric Unit to Another What are the metric units for area? Convert from One Metric Unit to Another What are the metric units for mass? Convert from One Metric Unit to Another What are the metric units for capacity (volume of a liquid or a gas)? Convert from One Metric Unit to Another What are the metric units for volume?
0 Convert from One Metric Unit to Another What are the metric units for volume? Convert from One Metric Unit to Another Example 1: Answer the following questions. Convert from One Metric Unit to Another Example 2: Convert the following. 3m= -------------------cm 0.4 km = -----------------cm 2000 cm = ---------------km 560m2 = ------------------- km 2 43 m3 = ----------------------cm 3 200 kg = --------------------- tonne 7 centilitres = --------------- litre 0.3 cm3 = -------------------- ml 8.9 l = --------------------ml 0.005 litre = ------------------ Convert from One Metric Unit to Another Activity 1: Textbook page 144 exercise 10B number 1. Convert from One Metric Unit to Another Activity 2: Textbook page 144 exercise 10B number 2. Reflection
Go to the chat function if the lesson is online or raise your hands in class to reflect on the learning objectives and use the RAG reflection method to show your understanding of the lesson. Red means there is a problem that must be addressed soon or raise 2 hands. Amber means that some work is required and certainly should be done before next assignment or raise 1 hand. Greenmeans there is no problem in comparison with other areas or keep your hands down. HW page 144 numbers 2, 3, 4. I am proud of you
