Place Value with Decimals

Lesson 2

Math

Unit 1

5th Grade

Lesson 2 of 13

Objective


Use whole numbers to denote powers of 10. Explain patterns in the number of zeros when multiplying any powers of 10 by any other powers of 10.

Common Core Standards


Core Standards

  • 5.NBT.A.2 — Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10. Use whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10.

Foundational Standards

  • 4.NBT.A.1

Criteria for Success


  1. Use exponents to denote powers of 10. 
  2. Convert between exponential form, standard form, and multiplication sentences that represent powers of 10.
  3. Look for and express regularity in repeated calculations of powers of 10 multiplied by other powers of 10, and explain patterns in the number of zeros in the product (MP.8).

Anchor Tasks

25-30 minutes


Problem 1

a.   How many do you see? How do you see them?

b.   Instead of writing $$10 \times 10$$, we can write $$10^2$$, which we read “ten to the power of two.” The two is the exponent and tells us how many times we multiply 10 by itself. How would you represent the number of the smallest spokes in the image above as a power of 10?

Problem Set

15-20 minutes


Discussion of Problem Set

  • Look at the last row in #2. What did you get? How did you get that? 
  • Look at #4e. How did you solve this even though it’s beyond what we’ve done already? 

Target Task

5-10 minutes


Problem 1

Fill in the following chart. 

Standard Form Repeated Multiplication Sentence Exponential Form
  $${10\times10\times10\times10}$$

Next

Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a whole number by 10. Recognize that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in any place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right.
