q1 m1 Measurement

The document provides an overview of measurement concepts including: 1) It defines measurement as determining an object's size, length, weight, or other property compared to a standard unit. 2) It discusses the two main systems of measurement - the metric and English systems - and provides examples of common units for length, mass, and time. 3) It introduces concepts like conversion between units, significant figures, and scientific notation - a shorthand for writing very large or small numbers as a coefficient and exponent of 10. 4) It lists common prefixes used in the International System of Units (SI) and their associated multipliers or divisors of powers of 10.
