Friday: Freddy's place value game

Freddy the Frog straightens his bow tie on a big lily pad.

"Ribbit! Welcome to the Place Value Pond," he says.

"Each lily pad has a puzzle about tens, tenths and powers of 10."

Bennie the Bear and Rosie the Rabbit sit on the bank to watch.

"Remember," says Bennie, "one place left is ten times as much."

"And one place right is one tenth as much," adds Rosie.

Freddy laughs. "Then you are ready! Hop to the first pad."

In 6.053, what is the value of the 5?
In 318.9, what is the value of the 9?
In 40,716, what is the value of the 7?

Game 2: Ten times or one tenth?

  • Tap your answer.
900 = ? × 90
0.3 = ? × 3
0.05 = ? × 0.005
4,000 = ? × 400

  • Tap your answer.
64 × 1,000 = ?
0.9 × 100 = ?
15.4 ÷ 10 = ?

44th

Game 5: True or false?

SentenceTrue or false?
7 × 1,000 = 7,000?
0.4 × 10 = 0.04?
52 ÷ 10 = 5.2?
10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 1,000?
WHY THIS EXERCISE0.4 × 10 is 4, and four tens multiplied make 10,000.
Try it
Hop like Freddy, one hop for each place.
Say a number like 6. Hop left and say 60, then 600.
Hop right from 6 and say 0.6, then 0.06.

Ribbit! Great work this week. Tomorrow is a Number Hunt.
