HISTORY OF MEASUREMENT
 In the 3rd century BC in Egypt, people used

their body parts to determine the measurements
of things.
 The unit of measure used in ancient time were
chosen for convenience rather accuracy.
Distance were judged by time, by eye

or by pace
Sizes were compared in terms of
stones, trees or other objects common
to their surroundings.
Historical records indicate that the first

unit of length were based on people’s
hands, feet and arms.
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.
METRIC SYSTEM
In the metric system, each basic type of

measurement (length, weight, capacity)
has one basic unit of measure (meter,
gram, liter).
ENGLISH SYSTEM
The US English System of measurement

grew out of the manner in which people
secured measurements using body parts
and familiar objects.

Measurement
LENGTH – meter, inch, yard, foot,
mile
WEIGHT – gram, pound, Ton,

Objective
• convert measures of
time
•Time is a definite
period of season or
duration. It is one of the
fundamental quantities
of the physical world. It
is like length, capacity
and weight that are
intangible. Your
achievement depends
TIME
on how wisely you use
it. Once you fail to use
time wisely, it is gone
forever.
