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

This math topic practices converting metric units by recognizing the names associated with specific powers of ten in scientific notation. Students are given mathematical expressions that represent scientific measurements (like bytes, grams, seconds, and meters) in powers of ten and must identify the correct metric unit names (such as gigabytes, nanograms, megaseconds, etc.). This set of problems serves as an introduction to scientific notation and metric units, enhancing students' understanding of scales ranging from very large to very small.
