In the 'Max Maths Year 5 Workbook', students practice multiplying numbers by 10 and 100 through a variety of exercises that enhance their understanding of place value and multiplication. The first activity requires students to draw lines connecting each number to its product when multiplied by 10, reinforcing the concept of shifting place values. Examples include matching numbers like 872 to 8,720 and 25 to 250, among others. This visual exercise helps solidify the impact of multiplication on numbers.

The second task presents a series of statements about the process of multiplication by 10 and 100, prompting students to identify which are true. For instance, it challenges common misconceptions such as simply adding zeros to the original number. The third activity is a completion task where students fill in a table by multiplying original numbers by 10 and 100, further practising the concept. In the fourth exercise, students calculate products of given multiplications, such as 240 multiplied by 10 and 557 multiplied by 100, and find missing numbers in multiplication sentences. The final task requires students to evaluate a set of multiplications, marking them as correct or incorrect, such as determining whether 478 multiplied by 10 equals 4,780 or if 6,833 multiplied by 100 equals 683,300. Through these exercises, students deepen their understanding of how multiplication by 10 and 100 affects the placement of digits in numbers.
