Multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1,000

Multiply and divide numbers by 10, 100, and 1000 giving answers up to three decimal places, understanding that digits shift position in the place-value chart

Lesson

Set out your lesson

Multiply and divide by 10, 100 and 1000 by changing digit places. Keep zeros needed to hold places.

Before teaching

Use this short check, then start teaching.

Activity

Ask for the value of 8 in 2.083: eight hundredths. Ask how many hundredths equal a tenth: ten. If either relationship is unclear, revisit Reading Decimal Places. The fourth decimal place used in two canonical examples is introduced here before use.

Policy

Check readiness directly. Prerequisite availability is not attainment.

Printer, credit, and teaching notes

Check readiness directly. Prerequisite availability is not attainment.

Use these linked lessons over several short sessions. Start with the readiness check; if it is not secure, revisit the named prerequisites rather than treating source availability as learner readiness. Use Show, Guided, then Try. Read the active sheet on screen and answer on plain paper or by typing. No printer, cutting, purchase or internet is needed. The adult may read the exact prompt. Record any hints, scribing or calculation help. Oral explanations do not show independent reading or handwriting. Use extra space and time as needed; pause or split the lesson. Keep this adult guide and all keys private. Share only the active learner sheet. Before Try, put Show, Guided work and notes aside. Keep the Try givens available, including a unit table if supplied. Give no answer or target step during the first attempt. If help is needed, give it and mark the attempt supported. Review keys after the attempt. Record the actual response and help; do not invent success or infer mastery from one attempt. These are fictional paper or oral mathematics tasks. No personal information, public sharing, purchase, real transaction, physical experiment or real measurement is required.

Use the complete materials on screen or print only the current sheet. Keep adult guidance out of learner view.

Check understanding

  • Compute 3.456 × 100 = 345.6 correctly
  • Compute 45 ÷ 1000 = 0.045 correctly
  • Explain why multiplying by 10 shifts each digit one place to the left
“Can your child work out 3.456 × 100 and 45 ÷ 1000, explaining how the value of each digit changes and why the second answer needs placeholder zeros?”
