Arithmetic Grade Four

Lesson Forty-four: Multiples of TEN

Study the following number sentences. 

  10 x 6 = 60		4 x 10 = 40		2 x 100 = 200

  100 x 4 = 400		1000 x 1 = 1000		5 x 10 = 50
In each case we multiply either 10, 100, or 1000 by a single digit. We can rephrase each of these examples like this: 

  10 x 6 = 60 		six sets of ten equals sixty

  4 x 10 = 40		four sets of ten equals forty

  2 x 100 = 200		two sets of one hundred equals two hundred

  100 x 4 = 400		four sets of one hundred equals four hundred

  1000 x 1 = 1000	one set of one thousand equals one thousand

  5 x 10 = 50		five sets of ten equals fifty
You get to try a few for yourself on the next page.
