This math topic focuses on recognizing and converting common metric prefixes to their corresponding powers of ten. Students are asked to identify the exponent for metric prefixes such as centi, deca, kilo, milli, hecto, and deci. Each prefix is associated with a specific power of ten, and the problems require students to match the prefix to the correct exponent representation, enhancing their understanding of metric units and their conversion in the context of measurement.
