This math topic focuses on matching metric unit prefixes to their corresponding values, particularly in the context of scientific notation. It teaches students to convert decimals into standard base unit names in the metric system, such as milli, centi, deca, kilo, and others. Each problem presents a different numerical decimal or whole number value, asking for the corresponding metric prefix that best represents the value shown. The skill level is introductory, targeting foundational understanding of metric conversions and reinforcing the relationship between decimal magnitudes and metric unit prefixes.
