Fascinating Fact:

In scientific notation, very large or very small numbers are written using powers of ten, helping scientists avoid writing endless zeros.

In 11 Plus Maths, understanding place value includes recognising how digits shift when multiplied or divided by ten. This knowledge also prepares pupils for scientific notation and exponents used in advanced maths.

Key Terms

  • Exponent: The small number that shows how many times ten is multiplied by itself.
  • Scientific Notation: A way of writing very large or very small numbers using powers of ten.
  • Power of Ten: The number of zeros that follow one in base ten counting, such as 10, 100, or 1,000.

Parents can read our 11 Plus courses and materials guide to learn how maths concepts like place value and powers of ten are tested in the exam.
