This math topic focuses on identifying the correct metric unit prefixes for various powers of ten, specifically for very small quantities. It includes practice problems where students must match the exponent, such as \(10^{-3}\), \(10^{-12}\), \(10^{-6}\), \(10^{0}\), and \(10^{-9}\), with its corresponding metric prefix like milli, pico, nano, micro, and the base unit. Through these problems, students develop an understanding of how to convert between exponents and the scientific notation to their respective metric prefixes.
