Definition. The metric system is a system of units for measurement developed in late 18th century France by the chemist Lavoisier to replace the disparate systems of measures then in use with a unified, natural and universal system. In the early metric system there were several fundamental or base units, the grad or grade for angles, the . You’ll Learn: To use and convert metric units of measure.. Type. Unit. Reference. Example. Length. Millimeter (mm). Centimeter. (cm). Meter (m). Kilometer (km). About the thickness. of a dime. About the width of your little finger. Curriculum links. Adult Numeracy. MSS1/L1.7. .
