Metric Units - Mneumonics in Table (Core) to Missing Factor (Level 1)

This math topic involves practicing understanding and applying the metric system of measurement through mnemonic-based exercises. The focus is on identifying the value (factor) of metric prefixes (kilo, hecto, deca, base unit, deci, centi, milli) where one prefix is 10 times greater or smaller than the adjacent ones. Each problem requires identifying the missing metric factor in a table that uses the mnemonic 'King Henry Died by Drinking Chocolate Milk' to help remember the order of the metric prefixes. The learners are tasked with finding the correct power of ten associated with specific metric prefixes.
