Today our math class discussed the metric system and how easy it is to convert between different measurements.  The HARDEST part is remember all of the different types of measurements available.  We discussed the following:

MILLI-

CENTI- 

DECI- 

DECA-

HECTO-

KILO-

With the help of some studying suggestions from Mike Byster, our class created some mnemonics to help us.  Here are a few we really liked.  Feel free to share your own in the comments section!
