We looked at the patterns of which way a number moves across the place value system depending on if we were multiplying or dividing. For example. if we are multiplying by 100, each digit will move 2 spaces to the left on the place value system. We also had to remember to place a 0 in the empty columns of the place value system. These 0's were our placeholders. Great work Year 5!
