  • Help your students understand multiplying and dividing with powers of 10. First, discover an exploration that pushes your students to generalize rules for multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100 (and that takes only two minutes a day!). Then, work with base-ten blocks to highlight the "why" for students in multiplying and dividing values by 10.
