This math topic focuses on comparing and determining smaller metric units and their common abbreviations as an introduction to unit conversion in the metric system. The questions specifically ask students to discern whether units like grams (g), decigrams (dg), centigrams (cg), and milligrams (mg) are smaller relative to each other. Each question is presented as a choice between two units, reinforcing recognition and understanding of metric units' relative sizes and abbreviations.
