Check understanding
- Compute 3.456 × 100 = 345.6 correctly
- Compute 45.2 ÷ 1000 = 0.0452 correctly
- Explain why multiplying by 10 shifts each digit one place to the left
“Can your child work out '4.6 ÷ 1,000 = 0.0046' — knowing that each division by 10 shifts digits one place to the right, even past the decimal point?”
