The document describes a story about seven dinosaurs of different sizes that live in a jungle called "Length". Each dinosaur's name corresponds to a unit of measurement, from millisaur to hectosaur to kilosaur. Kilosaur believes it is the king of the jungle due to its large size. However, the other dinosaurs challenge Kilosaur to a race, with the condition that they can get help from their friends. During the race, the smaller dinosaurs' friends - who represent zeros - help them go faster by acting as rollers for skateboards. With the help of their zero friends, all the dinosaurs reach the finish line at the same time. This teaches Kilosaur about the value of zeros in converting between

An interesting and creative way to learn units of measurement. Children would not even realize that they are actually learning complex and hard to remember conversion formulas through this entertaining story of seven dinosaurs.
Once upon a time, there was a jungle called ‘Length’. There lived 7 different types of dinosaurs. They varied in sizes.
Millisaur Centisaur Decisaur Metsaur Decasaur
Hectosaur And …
Kilosaur
Kilosaur, considering its huge size, declared itself the king of the jungle. The other dinosaurs didn’t like it. They didn’t want any king to be ruling over them.

‘I am the biggest’ said Kilosaur arrogantly ‘and hence the king of this jungle’. ‘But, apart from being big, one should possess other qualities also to become a king. You are always alone, you don’t even have friends’ said Hectosaur. ‘Yes, a king should be popular and lovable’ dared the tiny Millisaur, who was a helping dinosaur and had maximum number of friends.
All the smaller dinosaurs discussed amongst themselves and came up with an idea. They approached Kilosaur to propose their idea. They said ‘Let’s have a race, Kilosaur! And if you don’t win, you are not the king.’ Kilosaur agreed gladly to this seemingly stupid idea. ‘One step of mine is bigger than many of theirs’ thought Kilosaur.
The smaller dinosaurs kept one condition that they would take help of their friends in the race. Kilosaur had no objection to this equally stupid condition.
‘Oh, their friends are tiny in size as the dinosaurs themselves. They are zeros and have no value. I should not be worried’ thought Kilosaur imagining the zero friends that the other dinosaurs had.
Milli like a lily, had six smilies!
Centi – A hand, empty! The friends were like fingers, with Centi at the center.
Deci was fussy, with the fork ate spaghetti!
Met, like a triangle, had friends at the angles!
Deca had two, like ‘O’s in cuckoo
Hecto had one, like a hot cross bun!
Kilo had none, So, it never had fun!
They all were very proud of their friends and trusted them completely. The dinosaurs discussed the challenge with their friends. Zeros suggested ‘We have no value alone, but together with any one (1) of you, we can roll very fast and make you reach your destination quickly.’
The smaller dinosaurs liked the idea. So they made skateboards and their friends became rollers.
Hecto rolled inside its only zero friend.
All of them zoomed towards the finish line. Kilosaur walked alone.
Interestingly, all the dinosaurs reached the finish line at the same time.

= 1 000 000 millimeter 1 00 000 centimeter 1 0 000 decimeter 1 000 meter 1 00 decameter 10 hectometer 1 Kilometer
Kilosaur couldn’t believe, what it saw. ‘How could little dinosaurs reach so fast’ wondered Kilosaur. All the smaller dinosaurs screamed together, ‘that’s the values of our friends, zeros, Kilosaur!’ ‘I, with 6 zeros, am equal to 1 Kilo’ said Millisaur delightfully. 1 000 000 milli = 1 Kilo
‘I, with 5 zeros, am equal to 1 Kilo’ shouted Centisaur. 1 00 000 centi = 1 Kilo ‘I, with 4 zeros, am equal to 1 Kilo’ shouted the fussy Decisaur. 1 00 00 deci= 1 Kilo
‘I, with 3 zeros, am equal to 1 Kilo’ screamed Metsaur with joy. 1 000 meter = 1 Kilo ‘I, with 2 zeros, am equal to 1 Kilo’ shouted Decasaur. 1 00 deca= 1 Kilo
‘I, with 1 zero, am equal to 1 Kilo’ claimed Hectosaur. 10 hecto = 1 Kilo Kilosaur had to accept that all the dinosaurs have covered the same distance in the same duration as itself.
