MATH.

402A Interpret the value

of each place-value position
as 10 times the position to
the right and as one-tenth of
the value of the place to its
left.

I CAN represent decimals using

the power of 10.

A number's value is determined by its

place.

APK: What do we already know?

We know that a number's

value is determined by its
place.
Example: 100 vs 10
The 1 in the hundreds
place has a greater value
than the 1 in the tens
place.
