Problem 1:
Multiply single units by 10 to build the place value chart to 1 million. Divide to reverse the process.
Problem 2:
Multiply multiple copies of one unit by 10
(e.g., 10 × 4 ten thousands).
After having built the place value chart by multiplying by ten, quickly review the process simply moving from right to left on the place value chart, and then reversing and moving left to right.
Move right when multiply by ten and move left to divide by ten.
(e.g. 2 tens times 10 equals 2 hundreds times 10 equals 2 thousands divided by 10 equals 2 hundreds
divided by 10 equals 2 tens.)
Problem 3:
Divide multiple copies of one unit by 10:
2 thousands ÷ 10.
Solve in unit form:
2 thousands ÷ 10
Solve in unit form: 4 thousands ÷ 10
Problem 4:
Multiply and divide multiple copies of two different units by 10.
