Metric Review

1 u = 100 centi = 1,000 milli1 kilo = 1,000 u = 100,000 centi = 1,000,000 milli

Deci, hecta, deka are rarely, if ever, used. Learn Mili, Centi, and Kilo and you will become the champ.

When converting, ask yourself this:1) Where is my decimal point?2) Is the unit I’m converting to BIGGER or SMALLER than the

original unit?- Smaller = move the decimal point RIGHT- Bigger = move the decimal point to the LEFT

3) How many places do I move the decimal?- King Henry Died Monday drinking Chocolate Milk- Count the number of steps from your starting to

ending point.- Move the decimal that number of points.

you aren’t using the clicker properly, you won’t use them for the rest of the year.
