Understanding Place Value Relationships

Natalie Rhodes introduces a fifth-grade math lesson on place value relationships. The lesson covers the 10 to 1 relationship among place value positions, building on prior fourth-grade knowledge. Students learn to multiply and divide by 10 as they move between place values. Practical examples, such as a road trip scenario, help illustrate these concepts. The lesson includes exercises on completing tables with place value calculations. The session concludes with a summary and instructions for further practice.

What is the main learning objective of this lesson?

• To understand fractions

In a place value chart, moving one place to the left means you are:

• Multiplying by 10

• Dividing by 10

• Subtracting 10

• Adding 10

What happens when you move from the tens place to the ones place in a place value chart?

• You add 10

• You subtract 10

• You divide by 10

• You multiply by 10

In the practical problem, what is the relationship between the numbers 50 and 500?

• 500 is 10 times 50

• 500 is 100 times 50

• 50 is 100 times 500

• 50 is 10 times 500

When multiplying a number by 10, what should you do with the zeros?

• Halve the zeros

• Add a zero

• Remove a zero

• Double the zeros
