Intro to Multiplying Decimals by 10, 100, 1000

In this lesson, students are introduced to multiplying decimals by 10, 100, and 1000, in which students begin by creatively solving word problems. Students will analyze the number sentences used to solve the word problems, looking for and recording patterns and discovering that each place value has a value ten times as much as the place to its right, which is why each time a number is multiplied by 10, the digits move one place to the left.
