The metric system is an internationally standardized system of measurement based on powers of ten. It simplifies the process of converting between different units of measurement, making it especially useful in educational settings like the IB MYP curriculum. The primary metric units of length include millimeters (mm), centimeters (cm), meters (m), and kilometers (km). Each unit is 10 times larger or smaller than the adjacent unit, facilitating straightforward conversions.

Basic Metric Length Units

Before diving into conversions, it is crucial to understand the basic metric length units:

  • Millimeter (mm): The smallest commonly used unit of length in the metric system.
  • Centimeter (cm): Equal to 10 millimeters.
  • Meter (m): Equal to 100 centimeters or 1,000 millimeters.
  • Kilometer (km): Equal to 1,000 meters or 100,000 centimeters.
