Lesson Plan: Multiplying and Dividing by 10, 100, and 1,000
This lesson plan includes the objectives and prerequisites of the lesson teaching students how to multiply and divide whole numbers by 10, 100, and 1,000 and investigate how the place value of the digits change.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- recognize that when multiplying by 10, 100, or 1,000,
- the digits move 1, 2, or 3 place values to the left,
- the value of each digit gets larger,
- recognize that when dividing by 10, 100, or 1,000,
- the digits move 1, 2, or 3 place values to the right,
- the value of each digit gets smaller.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- multiplying 1- and 2-digit whole numbers by 10, 100, and 1,000,
- dividing 1- and 2-digit whole numbers by 10, 100, and 1,000.
