Metric Units - Table Missing Prefix (Very Small) (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on understanding and identifying the metric prefixes associated with very small units, specifically within powers of ten. It features questions where students must match the correct prefix to the symbols "m," "n," "p," and "µ," representing milli, nano, pico, and micro, respectively. Each question involves filling in missing metric prefixes in a table format that also indicates the corresponding powers of ten for each prefix. This set of problems is educational for learning the notation and scale of metric units in scientific measurements.
