Over the past few maths lessons, Year 5 have been recapping multiplying by 10 and 100. We used place value charts and counters to create the number we were multiplying by 10 or 100 and then moved all digits one place (x10) or two places (x100) to the left. We then took this one step further and learned how to multiply numbers by 1,000. Again, we used our place value charts and counters to help us. We created the number we were multiplying and moved all digits three places to the left. Today, we recapped dividing numbers by 10. This time, we created the number we were dividing in our place value charts and moved all digits one place to the right. Over the next two lessons, we will be dividing numbers by 100 and 1,000.
