What educators are saying

I used this to teach my students how to do unit conversions. I like that it is very detailed in showing all of the steps involved in converting units. My students were able to do practice problems successfully after going through this PowerPoint.

Description

This is a 37 slide PowerPoint presentation introducing the metric system (SI units) and unit conversions. This is one of my favorite PowerPoints to use in class, and students refer to it over and over again.

Practice problems are included (as are answers to problems [via animations]); so you can discuss and practice as a class!

Can be easily adapted to suit your classroom needs. Recommended for grades 7+.

Includes:

What is a standard/why it is useful to standardize

The Metric System (powers of 10)

Prefixes

Measuring and General SI Units (including how to read a graduated cylinder)

Unit conversions via conversion factors

Student notes are included.
