Metric Units - Exponent to Abbreviation (Very Small) (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on recognizing and matching the abbreviations for very small metric units expressed as powers of ten. Each question provides a specific power of ten in scientific notation and asks for the correct metric abbreviation, such as nanometers (n), picometers (p), or no abbreviation. It is part of a broader unit on metric measurement practices aimed at improving understanding of metric unit conversions using exponents. This includes the abbreviations for powers like 10^-9, 10^-12, 10^-3, 10^-6, and 10^0.
