Convert among units easily! Watch Mr. Almeida explain the metric unit conversion chart. Because the metric system uses the powers of 10, it is simple to convert by moving the decimal point to the right if your power of ten is in the numerator (positive) or to the left if your power of ten is in the denominator (negative). This meets Common Core math standards 5.MD.1 and 6.RP.3.d to convert measurements within a measurement system.
