Can you count from 1 to 4? ... + a few more roots? uni = one mono = one bi = two di, du = two tri = three quad = four tetra = four cycle = circle, wheel arch / archy= ruler, government
Can you count from 5 to 9? ... + a one more root? quint = five pent = five hex = six sex = six hept = seven sept = seven oct = eight non, nov = nine athlon = prize, event
Now, put it together! uni+ cycle = unicycle (a vehicle with one wheel) mono + archy= monarchy (a government with one ruler)
Now, put it together! quint + uplets= quintuplets (5 babies born at the same time) pent + athlon= pentathlon (5 events)
deca = ten deci =one-tenth (1/10) cent = one hundred centi =one-hundredth (1/100) kilo = one thousand milli =one-thousandth (1/1000) meter = a measurement of length gram = a measurement of weight
Put together, how much is a...? deca + gram = decagram (10 grams) deci+ gram = decigram (1/10 of a gram) kilo + meter = kilometer (1000 meters) milli+ meter = millimeter (1/1000 of a meter)
