Max Maths, Year 5, Try it, Multiplying numbers by 10 or 100 (2)

In a section designed for Year 5 students learning about multiplication, the focus is on the concept of multiplying numbers by 10 or 100. The exercise begins with an example that demonstrates how to multiply 302 by 100, guiding students step by step. A chart is provided to help visualise the place value columns – ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, and ten thousands – and to show how the digits shift when multiplied by 10 or 100. This visual representation assists students in understanding how each digit moves to the left by one or two places depending on whether the number is multiplied by 10 or 100, respectively.

The "Let's Practise" section offers a series of multiplication problems to reinforce the concept. Students are asked to multiply various numbers by 10 or 100 and to fill in missing numbers in given equations that result from these multiplications. For example, they must calculate 459 multiplied by 10, 547 multiplied by 100, and identify the missing number when multiplied by 100 to get 46,500. Additionally, they are tasked with finding the multiplier that turns 317 into 3,170, multiplying 98 by 100, determining the multiplier for 241 to result in 24,100, figuring out what number multiplied by 10 gives 5,500, and identifying the multiplier that increases 1,090 to 10,900. For further practice, students are directed to workbook pages 15 to 16.
