Measurements
One of the earliest tools that human beings invented was the unit of
Measurement. Measurement is a process of making an inference out of
something by putting a possible end to its features like length, weight, or even
volume. Measurements are classified into two; Nonstandard units of
measurements and Standard units of measurements. Nonstandard units of
measurements like a digit, hand, handspan, foot, cubit, and pace were some
body parts used as tools by the ancient Greek and Roman civilization in
measuring objects. This type of measurement is not standard since the size of
the human body varies from person to person. Other units of measurement
are the standard units of measurements. These units are also classified into
two types; the English system like an inch, foot, and yard; and the Metric
system like meter, centimeter and kilometer.

Lesson
Measures of Length
1
What’s New
Here are some objects that illustrate the units of length in metric
system.
Observe the objects above. Notice that the unit of measurements used
in measuring depends on the size of the object.
6
Now, let us try to find some objects and determine the appropriate unit
of length. What do you think will be the most realistic unit of measure for each
of the following? Choose your answer inside the box.
What is It
Meter (m) is the basic unit of length. It is derived from the Greek word
metron which means “a measure”. It is initially defined as one ten-millionth of
the distance from the equator to the North Pole. This definition is redefined as
the distance the light travels in a vacuum in second and
tt t
currently remains the standard today.
7
Presidential Decree No. 187 prescribed the use of the Metric System in
the Philippines as standards of weights and measures to avoid confusion and
waste of time in computation.
Examples:
a. The distance from your sala to your kitchen is approximately 8 meters.
b. The height of your refrigerator is 115 centimeters.
c. The distance from your house to the market is approximately 2
kilometers.

Measures of Weight and Mass
2
What’s New
Here are some objects that illustrate the units of weight in the Metric
System.
9
What is It
Gram (g) is the basic metric unit of weight. It is used to weigh light
objects. Weight is actually caused by the pull of the Earth on an object.
However, in our daily lives, it is the weight that we measure. In olden times,
people use “salop” in buying rice. But nowadays, it is bought by “kilo,” the
popular name for kilogram (kg). The weighing scale and the beam balance
are some of the instruments used in measuring weight.
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
Examples:
a. A one-bag of Hansel biscuit with 10 packs inside, usually weighs 310
grams.
b. The average weight of an adult person is 62 kilograms.
c. A container ship weighs 100,000 tons.

Lesson
Measures of Volume and Capacity
3
What’s New
Here are some objects that illustrate the units of volume and capacity
in the Metric System.
The things mentioned above are objects that use the units of
measurement for volume and capacity. Just like the example, when we buy
something in the market or the store, we usually say one liter of softdrink or
one bottle of 120 mL Paracetamol syrup. We don’t know that those are
already units for measuring the volume or the capacity of a certain object.
Think of other objects that we usually buy in the store. For example,
you want to buy a pail. What could be the size of the pail that you will buy? A
small pail or a big pail? Do you think the size of the pail can affect its capacity
to hold water? Why?
12
What Is It
Liter (L) is the basic Metric Unit for measuring capacity. When we talk
about how much liquid or objects in a cup, a water jug, and a basket can hold,
we are referring to the capacity of the cup, water jug and basket as containers.
When we talk about how much juice should we drink, how much water is in
the pool, and how much space hollow blocks can occupy, then we are talking
about volume.
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
Examples:
a. An average household pail can hold up to 10 liters of water.
b. One glass of drinking water is about 240 mL.
c. The size of a surgical facemask box is 13 cm x 9 cm x 13 cm or
1, 521 cm3.
