Units (Positive Digits) to Scientific Notation (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on converting units into scientific notation. It includes exercises where students convert numerical values from various measurement units (e.g., milliseconds, centimeters, megaseconds, kiloamps, kilometers, micrometers) into scientific notation. Each problem provides different measurement units and challenges students to express these units in terms of scientific notation with powers of ten, enhancing their understanding of both measurement and exponentiation.
