  • Centi- means 100 100 centimeters make a meter.
  • Milli- means 1,000 1,000 millimeters make a

  • Deka- means 10 a dekameter is 10 meters.
  • Hecto- means 100 a hectometer is 100 meters.
  • Kilo- means 1,000 a kilometer is 1,000 meters.

1 MILE EQUALS
  • 5,280 FEET
  • 1,760 YARDS

9
1 FOOT IS ABOUT
  • THE LENGTH OF A RULER
  • THE LENGTH OF A MANS SHOE

10
1 YARD IS ABOUT
  • THE LENGTH OF A DOORWAY
  • 3 feet 1 yard

11
1 INCH IS ABOUT
  • THE LENGTH OF AN EYE

12
1 CENTIMETER IS ABOUT
  • A paperclip

13
1 METER IS ABOUT
  • THE LENGTH OF THE DOORWAY

14
MASS
  • 1 POUND 16 OUNCES
  • 1 TON 2,000 POUNDS
  • 1 KILOGRAM 1,000 GRAMS
  • 1 GRAM 1,000 MILLIGRAM

16
1 POUND 16 OUNCES
  • 1 POUND OF HAMBURGER MEAT
  • If you weigh 100 pounds how many ounces do you
    weigh???

17
The Answer
  • 16 X 100 1,600 ounces
  • So if you weigh 100 lbs. , you weigh 1,600 oz.

18
1 TON 2,000 POUNDS
  • AN ELEPHANT
  • A CAR
  • So if the monster truck weighs 2 tons, how many
    pounds does it weigh?
  • What if the monster truck weighs 6,000 pounds,
    how many tons does it weigh?

19
If you are converting from larger to smaller
you multiply.
  • If the monster truck weighs 2 tons
  • 2 X 2, 000 4,000 pounds

20
If you are converting from smaller to larger than
you divide.
  • If the monster truck weighs 6,000 lbs.
  • 6,000 / 2,000 3 tons

21
Lets try it again!
  • If the Hummer weighs 2 tons, how many pounds does
    it weigh?
  • If the Escalade weighs 4,000 pounds, does it
    weigh the same as the Hummer?

22
What do you think?
  • 2 tons HUMMER
  • 2 X 2,000 4,000 pounds ( I multiply by 2,000
    because 1 ton 2,000 pound)
  • ESCALADE
  • 4,000/ 2,000 2 tons (I divide by 2,000 because
    1 ton is 2,000 pounds)

23
  • So they are equal!!
