Max Maths, Year 5, Work Book, Multiplying numbers by 10 or 100

The Max Maths workbook for Year 5 provides a series of exercises to help students understand and practice the concept of multiplying numbers by 10 or 100. The first activity requires students to draw lines connecting each number to its product when multiplied by 10. This visual matching exercise aims to strengthen their recognition of how numbers increase in size when multiplied by a factor of ten. Numbers such as 872, 25, 6,000 and others are included for students to work with, enhancing their familiarity with the process of scaling numbers up by a magnitude of ten.

The second task presents a set of sentences about the rules of multiplication by 10 and 100, and students must identify which statements are true. This activity encourages critical thinking as they consider misconceptions such as whether multiplying by 100 simply involves adding two zeros to the end of a number. In the third activity, students are asked to complete a table by multiplying original numbers by 10 and 100, reinforcing their understanding of place value and the shifting of digits. Additional exercises involve solving multiplication problems and validating the correctness of given solutions, further embedding the principles of multiplying by multiples of ten and developing the students' computational skills.
