measurement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Common metric units include <strong>millimeters (mm)<\/strong>, <strong>centimeters (cm)<\/strong>, <strong>meters (m)<\/strong>, <strong>kilometers (km)<\/strong> for length; <strong>grams (g)<\/strong> and <strong>kilograms (kg)<\/strong> for mass; and <strong>liters (L)<\/strong> for volume.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color

wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Millimeters (mm)<\/strong>: Used for very small lengths (e.g., thickness of a coin).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Centimeters (cm)<\/strong>: Used for measuring smaller objects or distances (e.g., length of a pencil).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Meters (m)<\/strong>: Used for measuring larger distances or lengths (e.g., height of a person, length of a room).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Kilometers (km)<\/strong>: Used for measuring long distances, like between cities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size

wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Grams (g)<\/strong>: Used for measuring lighter objects (e.g., weight of a fruit).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Kilograms (kg)<\/strong>: Used for measuring heavier objects (e.g., weight of a person, a bag of flour).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-58388c94d9be2eb96c10d198cd49bca2\"

wp-block-list\">\n<li>It\u2019s important to select the correct unit based on the size or amount of the object being measured.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For example, use <strong>meters<\/strong> to measure the length of a school hallway and <strong>centimeters<\/strong> to measure the length of a pencil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size
