Place Value

Times Ten

When we multiply by ten, we are moving one place left on the place value chart. Any place missing a digit, needs a zero.

• 1 x 3 = 3

• 10 x 3 = 30 (3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30) can also say 3 x 10 = 30

• 100 x 3 = 300 (can also say 30 x 10)

• 1000 x 3 = 3000 (can also say 300 x 10)

Do you notice the pattern?

• 1 x 5 = 5

• 10 x 5 = 50

• 100 x 5 = 500

• 1000 x 5 = 5000

In the number 34, 239

• The value of the 3 in the ten thousands place is 1,000 times greater than the value of the 3 in the tens place
