LEARNING SKILLS
FOR EVERYDAY USE IN AMERICA
Choose From the Following Subjects

  To measure any length use a meter stick or  tape measure.

Athletic tournaments throughout the world are measured in metric dimensions.

This diving board is
10 meters tall.

  
An Olympic sized pool is
50 meters long.

        

 
Longer Distances like the height of a mountain can be measured in meters...

 


and so can the length of a bridge


 or a waterfall.

Smaller Measurements from a meter

1 centimeter
(1 cm)

 Remember, centi is the prefix meaning
1 one hundredth of the base unit meter.
So, 1 one hundredth of a meter (0.01 m)
is simply written 1 cm

Smaller Measurements 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 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".
