Powers of 10 Higher
In this worksheet, children are challenged by exploring the relationship between numbers in the word problems.
They look at columns that are further apart, for example considering the number of thousands needed to make 20,000 and then multiples of 20,000. Children are challenged by word problems.
Ask,
If you move a digit one place to the left in a place value chart,
how many times greater is the value of the digit?
If you move a digit two places to the left in a place value
chart, how many times greater is the value of the digit?
Watch for:
Children may not realise that the overall effect of,
for example, × 10 followed by × 10 is × 100.
