Place Value × 10 Pattern
Recognise that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right (e.g. 700 ÷ 70 = 10)
Teaching approaches
Gakuva’s recommended starting approach is selected. You can still compare every option.
1 approach
Can your child explain that in 700, the 7 is worth 10 times more than in 70 — because moving one place to the left multiplies the value by 10?
