Sky solved the problems below and got all the answers correct. Describe what is happening to the number of zeroes in these problems and explain why it works that way.

25 x 101 = 250      25 x 102= 2,500     25 x 103= 25,000

More zeroes are being added to each product. This happens because the exponent tells you how  many times to multiply ten. For example 102 is like saying 10 x 10 = 100 so 25 x 100 - 2,500

Cameron solved the problems below and got all the answers correct. Describe what is happening to the decimal point in these problems and explain why it works. 

386.7 divide 10 = 38.67 386.7 divide 100 = 3.857 386.7 divide 1,000 = 0.3867

When you divide by a whole number the quotient gets smaller. Also, when you divide by a power of 10, the decimal point moves to the right. Each power of 10 is one place value spot.
