This document discusses metric measurements of length, weight, and capacity. It defines common units like meters, centimeters, kilometers, and kilograms. It provides conversions between units of length and weight in the metric system. For length, it explains how to add and subtract measurements with mixed units through proper alignment of place values.

1. METRIC
MEASUREMENTS

2. • Handspan - Length between the thumb and
the little finger when spread out
• Cubit – Length from tip of the middle finger
to the elbow
• Footspan – Length from tip of the toe to the
heel

3. • The system of measuring Length, Weight,
and Capacity using certain standard units is
known as the Metric System of
Measurement.
• Standard units are also known as Metric
Units of measurement.

4. Length
• It is the measurement of an object from end to
end.
• Length measuring tools are Measuring tape, Ruler
• Metric Units of Length

5. Conversion of Unit of Length
Metres(M) into Centimetres(CM)
• 1M = 100CM
100

6. Centimetres into Metres
• 1M = 100CM
100

7. Kilometres into Metres
• 1Km = 1000M
1000

8. Metres into Kilometres
• 1Km = 1000M
1000

9. 100 1000
1000

10. Addition of Length
• To add, arrange them in the correct columns of
units and then add them separately.
• Example: Add 3m 32cm and 4m 7cm

12. Subtraction of Length
• To subtract length, arrange them in the correct
columns of units and then subtract them
separately.
• Example: Add 39m 54cm and 81m 89cm

14. Weight
• It is the measurement of heaviness of an object.
• Weighing balance is a Weight measuring tool.
• Metric Units of Weight

15. Conversion of Unit of Weight
Kilograms into Grams
• 1Kg = 1000gm
1000

16. Grams into Kilograms
• 1Kg = 1000gm
