Fascinating Fact:

If you earn £10 an hour and work for ten hours, multiplying ten by ten gives one hundred, proof that place value can make hard work pay off.

In 11 Plus Maths, pupils learn how to multiply and divide numbers by powers of ten to understand how each digit’s position affects its value. Mastering this helps with all areas of calculation, especially when working with large or decimal numbers.

  • Power of Ten: A number multiplied by itself through tens, such as ten, one hundred, or one thousand.
  • Base Ten System: The way numbers are structured in mathematics using digits zero to nine.
  • Value Shift: The change that occurs when digits move left or right in a number.
What happens when a number is multiplied by ten?

When a number is multiplied by ten, each digit moves one place to the left, making the number ten times larger.

Why do we use the base ten system in maths?

The base ten system is easy to use and understand because it relies on only ten digits, allowing patterns to form when multiplying or dividing.

How can I remember place value shifts easily?

Each time you multiply by ten, move the digits one place left. Each time you divide by ten, move them one place right.
