OBJECTIVES:

1. Approximates the measures of quantities

particularly length, weight/mass, volume, time,
angle and temperature and rate. (M7ME –IIa-3)
Why do measurements
important?
 MEASUREMENTS

- A process of making an inference out of

something by putting a possible end to its
features like length, weight or even volume.
CLASSIFICATIONS

 NONSTANDARD UNITS
 Measurements like a digit, hand, handspan, foot, cubit, and
pace

 These type of measurement is not standard since the size

of the human body varies from one person to another
person
CLASSIFICATION

STANDARD UNITS
TWO TYPES:

1. English System
2. Metric System
ENGLISH SYSTEM

  is defined as the measurement system used in

many countries including the United States using
feet, pounds and seconds
 inch, foot, and yard are also some examples for
English System
METRIC SYSTEM

 The metric system is an internationally agreed decimal system of

measurement created in France in 1799. The International System
of Units (SI), the official system of measurement in almost every
country in the world, is based upon the metric system.
 Meter, centimeter, kilometer and the like are examples for Metric System
MEASURES OF LENGTH

 Thisrefers to the length, width, thickness of

objects and also in getting the distance

 Tools to be used:
ruler, tape measure, meter stick and the like
Some objects that illustrates the units of length
in Metric System
METER (m)

 Is the basic unit of length

 Greek word “METRON” - a measure

 Defined as one ten-millionth of the distance from
the equator to the North Pole.
COMMON METRIC UNIT OF LENGTH

Unit Relation to Length

Kilometer (km) 1000 m
Hectometer (hm) 100 m
Dekameter (dam) 10 m
Meter (m) 1m
Decimeter (dm) 0.1 m
Centimeter (cm) 0.01 m
Millimeter (mm) 0.001 m
 MEASURES OF WEIGHT AND MASS

Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object without considering the

location,
whereas
Weight refers to the mass subjected to gravitational attraction. Your mass
remains the same regardless of where you are, but your weight can vary
and the weight of a person varies with location.
For example, you weigh lighter on the moon than on Earth because the
moon’s gravity is weaker than the Earth.
GRAM

Isthe basic metric unit of weight.

Used to weigh light objects.
COMMON METRIC UNIT OF MASS

Unit Relation to Gram

Metric ton (t) 1000 kg
Kilograms (kg) 1000 g
Hectogram (hg) 100 g
Dekagram (dag) 10 g
Gram (g) 1g
Decigram (dg) 0.1 g
Centigram (cg) 0.01 g
Milligram (mg) 0.001 g
 MEASURES OF VOLUME AND
CAPACITY

 Volume is the amount of space occupied by an object.

 The common metric units of volume are cubic centimeters (cm 3) and
cubic meter (m3). These units are obtained as the product of the objects’
length, width and height (length x width x height). On the other hand,

 Capacity is the amount of substance a container can hold.

 Refers to liquid or objects in a cup, a water jug, and a basket can hold.
But when we talk about how much juice we
drink, how much water is in the pool and
how much space hollow blocks can occupy,
then we are talking about VOLUME.
SOME OBJECTS THAT ILLUSTRATE THE
UNITS OF VOLUME AND CAPACITY
LITER

 - is the basic metric unit for measuring capacity.

COMMON METRIC UNIT FOR CAPACITY
Unit Relation to Liter
Kiloliter (kL) 1000 L
Hectoliter (hL) 100 L
Dekaliter (daL) 10 L
Liter (L) 1L
Deciliter(dL) 0.1 L
Centiliter (cL) 0.01 L
Milliliter (mL) 0.001 L
