Page 2 - LN- Multiplying numbers by 10
P. 2
In our number system, place value helps us understand that:
10 ones = 1 ten
When we multiply by 10, each digit moves one place to the left and
becomes 10 times bigger.
Example:
4 × 10 = 40 → 4 ones become 4 tens!
Real-Life Examples
️ You have 10 pens in one box.
How many pens in 4 boxes?
→ 4 × 10 = 40 pens
️ Each ticket costs ₹10.
How much for 7 tickets?
→ 7 × 10 = ₹70
Learning Outcome: Students were able to multiply whole numbers by
10 confidently and explain the pattern of adding a zero or shifting place
value to find the product.
