Worksheet variations

Multiplying by 10 makes every digit worth ten times more, so the digits shift one place left; dividing shifts them right. The exponent of 10 counts the places.

Common mistakes to watch for

  • Moving the decimal point the wrong way when dividing.
  • Adding zeros to the end of a decimal, so 3.4 × 10 becomes 3.40.
  • Reading 10^3 as 30 instead of 1,000.
