Estimate metric measurements

Estimate metric measurements

What you'll learn

  • Estimate the length, mass, or volume of 5 different real-world objects using metric units (millimeters, centimeters, meters, grams, kilograms, milliliters, liters) with an accuracy of +/- 25%.
  • Identify the appropriate metric unit (millimeter, centimeter, meter, gram, kilogram, milliliter, liter) for measuring the length, mass, or volume of 3 given objects or scenarios.
  • Convert between common metric units of length, mass, and volume (e.g., centimeters to meters, grams to kilograms, milliliters to liters) with 80% accuracy in a written quiz.
  • Explain the relationship between metric units of length, mass and volume (e.g., how many centimeters are in a meter) in their own words, demonstrating understanding of the base-10 system.
