Units - Metric Core - Power of Ten to Unit Name (Level 1)

This math topic involves converting powers of ten into standard metric unit names. The topic allows students to practice recognizing and naming metric units like meters, grams, and amps, scaled by powers of ten (e.g., 10 to the power of -3, 10 to the power of 2). It also introduces students to scientific notation and its application in understanding different magnitudes of measurements, which is crucial in enhancing their understanding of metric measurements and conversions within scientific contexts.
