This resource focuses on mastering the metric system, specifically converting between metric units of length (kilometers, meters, centimeters), mass (kilograms, grams), and volume (liters, milliliters). It outlines the basic units used in the metric system and provides a memorable mnemonic, "King Henry Doesn't Usually Drink Chocolate Milk," to help students remember the order of metric prefixes. Key conversion rules are emphasized: multiply when converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit, and divide when converting from a smaller unit to a larger unit. The document includes common conversion examples, guided practice problems, and self-check strategies. The practical applications of the metric system are illustrated through real-world scenarios involving cooking and medicine, while also incorporating a mixed review section for comprehensive skill development.
