• Allow us to analyse data and compare information easily and more

accurately;
• No confusion because there is specific symbols for each unit
• Allow us to solve problems related to measurement
• Accuracy – The ability of measuring instruments to obtain a value closest
to the actual value.
• Consistency– The ability of measuring instruments to give the same
readings with repeated measurements.
• Sensitivity – The ability of measuring instruments to detect a small change
in the measurement quantity.

1) Length - the distance between two points

2) Mass - the quantity of matter contained in an object
3) Time
4) Temperature - the degree of heat or coldness of an object
5) Electric current 6) Water Volume
Diameter
• Inner Caliper - measures the inside diameter of an object
• Outer Caliper - measures the outer diameter of an object
