Understanding Multiplying by 10, 100, 1000

Hello Year 4! Today, we’re going to learn about multiplying numbers by 10, 100, and 1000. This is an important skill that will help you with many maths problems.

What Happens When We Multiply?

When we multiply, we are making a number bigger. For example, if you have 2 apples and you multiply by 10, you will have 20 apples!

Key Rules for Multiplying by 10, 100, and 1000

  1. Multiplying by 10: When you multiply a number by 10, you simply add a zero to the end of that number.
    • Example:
      • 2 \times 10 = 20
      • 5 \times 10 = 50
  2. Multiplying by 100: When you multiply by 100, you add two zeros to the end of the number.
    • Example:
      • 3 \times 100 = 300
      • 12 \times 100 = 1200
  3. Multiplying by 1000: When you multiply by 1000, you add three zeros to the end of the number.
    • Example:
      • 4 \times 1000 = 4000
      • 7 \times 1000 = 7000

Tips and Tricks

  • Remember: Just add the right number of zeros!
  • Practice: Use everyday items. For example, if you have 3 bags of 10 sweets, how many sweets do you have in total?
  • Visuals: You can draw it! For example, if you multiply by 10, draw 10 groups.
