Resources

 

  Demonstrate ability to extend mental math multiplication and division by powers of ten.
Use place value chart to demonstrate number system as 1 x 10 (zero power) etc. Describe powers of 10 as a shortcut that can be applied to long division, multiplication and measurement.
Ex: 2 x 2,000 is (2X2) times 10 cubed or 4 times 1000
Solve examples like:
 
400,000
X 2
_________
 
and
___________
8) 400,000
 
Students change large number to powers of 10 notation and then multiply or divide.
