  1. Length The standard unit of length in the metric system is the meter. Other units of length and their equivalents in meters are as follows: 1 millimeter = 0.001 meter1 centimeter = 0.01 meter1 decimeter = 0.1 meter1 kilometer = 1000 meters We symbolize these lengths as follows:1 millimeter = 1 mm1 centimeter = 1 cm1 meter = 1 m1 decimeter = 1 dm1 kilometer = 1 km For reference, 1 meter is a little longer than 1 yard or 3 feet. It is about half the height of a very tall adult. A centimeter is nearly the diameter of a dime, a little less than half an inch. A millimeter is about the thickness of a dime.

  2. Mass standard unit in the metric system is the gram. Other units of mass and their equivalents in grams are as follows:1 milligram = 0.001 gram1 centigram = 0.01 gram1 decigram = 0.1 gram1 kilogram = 1000 grams We symbolize these masses as follows:1 milligram = 1 mg1 centigram = 1 cg1 decigram = 1 dg1 gram = 1 g1 kilogram = 1 kg For reference, 1 gram is about the mass of a paper clip. One kilogram is about the mass of a liter of water.

  3. Volume The standard unit of volume in the metric system is the liter. One liter is equal to 1000 cubic centimeters in volume. Other units of volume and their equivalents in liters are as follows: 1 milliliter = 0.001 liter1 centiliter = 0.01 liter1 deciliter = 0.1 liter1 kiloliter = 1000 liters From these units, we see that 1000 milliliters equal 1 liter; so 1 milliliter equals 1 cubic centimeter in volume. We symbolize these volumes as follows:1 milliliter = 1 ml1 centiliter = 1 cl1 deciliter = 1 dl1 liter = 1 l1 kiloliter = 1 kl For reference, 1 l is a little more than 1 quart. One teaspoon is about 5 milliliters.

  4. Temperature is expressed in degrees Celsius in the metric system. The boiling point of water (at sea level) is 100°Celsius, or 100°C. The freezing point of water (at sea level) is 0° Celsius. A hot day is about 30° Celsius.
