This math topic focuses on understanding and applying metric unit prefixes and their corresponding powers of ten, using a mnemonic device. Students practice identifying the correct exponent for each prefix given the relationship that each subsequent prefix represents a value 1000 times smaller. The mnemonic device used is 'Young Zoe Earns Pennies To Get Marbles,' representing the prefixes from yotta to giga. Each problem asks for the missing exponent for one of these prefixes, reinforcing exponent calculations and relationships between metric unit sizes.
