METRIC LINEAR UNITS(METERS AND KILOMETERS) GRADE 3 copyright@Ed2netLearning,Inc 1 Hello, How are you doing? Today, we are going to start a new lesson on Linear units. copyright@Ed2netLearning,Inc 2 Metric System Metric System – A group of units based on measuring by tens. Various units of metric systems. • Kilometer (km) • Decimeter (dm) • Centimeter (cm) • Meter (m) copyright@Ed2netLearning,Inc 3 Metric units of length Various units of Metric System are related to each other. 1 meter (m) = 100 centimeter (cm) 1 decimeter (dm) = 10 centimeter (cm) 1 meter (m) = 10 decimeter (dm) 1 kilometer (km) = 1,000 meter (m) copyright@Ed2netLearning,Inc 4 Tools used for measuring length For measuring small distances in centimeters, centimeter scale is used. For measuring larger distances in meters, meter stick or measuring tape is used. copyright@Ed2netLearning,Inc 5 Meter or Kilometer? Kilometer is larger unit than meter. For measuring larger distances like length of the road, kilometer is used. For measuring small distances like length of the room or door meter is used. copyright@Ed2netLearning,Inc 6 A relation Kilometer X 10 meter ÷ 10 decimeter centimeter copyright@Ed2netLearning,Inc 7 Important Tips To convert meter to kilometers, divide with 1,000. Example – 50 meters = 50/1,000 = 0.050 Km To convert kilometers to meters, multiply with 1,000 Example – 2 Km = 2 x 1,000 = 2,000 m copyright@Ed2netLearning,Inc 8 Convert 4 km to meters Solution – 4 Km 4 x 1,000 4,000 m copyright@Ed2netLearning,Inc 9 Which is longer, a measurement of 1 meter of 30 centimeters? Answer - 1 meter copyright@Ed2netLearning,Inc 10 Which unit would you use to find the length of distance across town?
