How to Use This Pack

Five pages on multiplying and dividing with tens, hundreds and thousands. Page 1 puts a number in a place value chart and multiplies it by 10, 100 or 1,000: students write each digit in its new place and draw arrows to show that every digit moves one place to the left for each 10, then multiply without the chart and finish sentences such as "600 is 10 times as much as 60". Page 2 builds patterns from a fact (3 × 6, 3 × 60, 3 × 600, 3 × 6,000), including one whose fact already ends in 0, then writes products in place value units: 3 × 700 is 3 × 7 hundreds, or 21 hundreds, which is 2,100. Page 3 is 24 products of a one-digit number and a multiple of 10, 100 or 1,000, some written the other way round, then six comparisons with >, < or =. Page 4 divides with a fact: 42 ÷ 6, 420 ÷ 6 and 4,200 ÷ 6; 2,400 ÷ 6 as 24 hundreds ÷ 6; and dividing by 10, 100 and 1,000, where every digit moves to the right. Page 5 has missing factors, dividends and divisors, then four short stories to write an equation for and solve. Every page starts with a worked example.

In the Classroom

Write 54 in a place value chart on the board and ask a student to multiply it by 10 by moving the digits, not by adding a zero. Ask why the 5 is now worth 500. Before page 2, say a pattern aloud as a class: 5 × 3, 5 × 30, 5 × 300, 5 × 3,000, then ask which product in 2 × 5,000 has one more zero than the others and why. On page 4, read 2,400 as 24 hundreds before anyone divides.

At Home

Count money in tens, hundreds and thousands: 6 bills of $100 is $600, so 6 bills of $1,000 is $6,000. Ask how many $10 bills make $350, and how many $100 bills make $2,400 shared among 6 people. Have your child say the fact first, then the zeros.

Tips for Success

  • Times 10, every digit moves one place to the left, and a 0 fills the ones place
  • Find the fact first: 6 × 400 starts with 6 × 4
  • Count the zeros in the factors, then check the product: 4 × 5,000 is 20,000, with one more zero from the fact
  • Read big numbers in units: 2,400 is 24 hundreds
  • Divided by 10, every digit moves one place to the right

Common Core Standards Alignment

This pack supports the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

  • 3.NBT.A.3 Multiply a single-digit number by a multiple of ten from 10 to 90, such as 4 × 70, using place value and properties.
  • 4.NBT.B.6 Divide numbers up to 9,999 by one-digit numbers, finding quotients and remainders with place-value strategies shown in equations, arrays or area models.
  • 5.NBT.A.2 Explain why multiplying or dividing by 10, 100 or 1,000 adds zeros or moves the decimal point, and write powers of 10 with exponents.
