Homework

Math: Solve the math problems in your notebook
Reading- read for 30 minutes and log it in your reading log

e.g. Math

5 hundreds  x 10 = _______ones
                             ________hundreds
                             _________thousands
                             __________tens

This is how you could  solve

5 hundreds in standard form= 500 so
500 x 10= 5000
since ones have no zeros it has 5000 ones
hundreds have 2 zeros so I can take off 2 zeros or divide by 100 = 50 hundreds
thousands have 3 zeros so I can take off 3 zeros or divide by 1000= 5 thousands
tens has 1 zero so I can take off 1 zero or divide by 10 - 500 tens
