Let’s begin with 5,000. The digit 5 is in the thousands place. What number is 1/10 of 5,000?500. What number is 1/10 of 500?50. What number is 1/10 of 50?5. What is 1/10 of 5?0.5. What number is 1/10 of 0.5?0.05. And what number is 1/10 of 0.05?0.005


4 ,444× 10

Here is 4,444. All the digits are the same but are in different places, so they have different values.The value of the 4 in the tens place is 10 times greater than the value of the 4 in the ones place.Let’s compare the ones place to the tens place.


4 ,444× 100

Its value is 100 times greater than the value of the same digit in the ones place.Here is the same digit in the hundreds place.


4 ,444× 1,000

Its value is 1,000 times greater than the value of the same digit in the ones place.And, here is the same digit in the thousands place.


4 ,444÷ 10

The value of the 4 in the hundreds place is 10 times less than the value of the 4 in the thousands place.Let’s compare the thousands place to the hundreds place.


÷ 100

Its value is 100 times less than the value of the same digit in the thousands place.Here is the same digit in the tens place.


4 ,444

÷ 1,000

Its value is 1,000 times less than the value of the same digit in the thousands place.And, here is the same digit in the ones place.

× 1,000

And, the same digit three places to the left …… has a value that is 1,000 times greater.


77.77

÷ 10

The same digit one place to the right …… has one tenth the value.This time, let’s focus on the 7 in tens place.


77.77

÷ 100

The same digit two places to the right …… has one hundredth the value.


77.77

÷ 1,000

And, the same digit three places to the right …… has one thousandth the value.
