Length & Height
What is it? Length tells us how long or tall something is.Example: How tall you are!
Magic Conversions!
- 10 millimeters (mm) = 1 centimeter (cm)
- 100 centimeters (cm) = 1 meter (m)
- 1,000 meters (m) = 1 kilometer (km)
Area (Surface)
What is it? Area tells us how much flat space something covers.Example: A rug on the floor.
Units to Know
- Square Centimeter (cm²) for small things.
- Square Meter (m²) for bigger spaces like rooms.
Mass (Weight)
What is it? Mass tells us how heavy something is.Example: Weighing your school bag.
Magic Conversions!
- 1,000 grams (g) = 1 kilogram (kg)
Volume (Capacity)
What is it? Volume tells us how much a container can hold.Example: A bottle of water.
Magic Conversions!
- 1,000 milliliters (mL) = 1 liter (L)
Time
What is it? Time helps us know when things happen.Example: How long until lunchtime!
Magic Conversions!
- 60 seconds (sec) = 1 minute (min)
- 60 minutes (min) = 1 hour (hr)
- 24 hours (hr) = 1 day
Temperature
What is it? Temperature tells us how hot or cold it is.Example: The weather outside.
Cool Facts!
- Water Freezes at 0° Celsius (C)
- Water Boils at 100° Celsius (C)
Angles
What is it? An angle measures the turn between two lines.Example: A slice of pizza!
Types of Angles
- Right Angle = A perfect corner (90°)
- Acute Angle = A small, sharp angle (< 90°)
- Obtuse Angle = A wide, open angle (> 90°)
Speed
What is it? Speed tells us how fast something is moving.Example: A car driving on the road.
Units to Know
- Kilometers per hour (km/h) for cars.
- Meters per second (m/s) for runners.
Computer Data
What is it? This measures space on phones & computers.Example: How many games you can install.
Magic Conversions!
- 1,024 Kilobytes (KB) = 1 Megabyte (MB)
- 1,024 Megabytes (MB) = 1 Gigabyte (GB)
