Powers of 10

MATH POWERS OF 10

In math we are learning about powers of 10 it was really hard at first but then ms. A helped us. First we were using multiplication so you would bring the decimal to the RIGHT as much times as the zero like this.

                          Then we did division you would bring              decimal to the LEFT as much times as the zeros.

Have you ever learned powers of 10 if you have please comment.

Powers of 10

We have been working on powers or ten.  It has been a little hard with some people but most of us got it.

Basically you have to move the decimal to the right or left depending on if you are multiplying or dividing.  If you are dividing you move the decimal to the left.  If you are multiplying you move the decimal to the right.  For example, If you are multiplying .23 by 1000 you move the decimal three times to the right because there are three zeros in one thousand and you are multiplying.

Have you ever done powers of ten?
