What you'll learn

Explain that each place in a multi-digit whole number represents ten times the value of the place to its right (ones to tens, tens to hundreds, hundreds to thousands, and so on)
Explain the inverse relationship: each place represents one tenth of the value of the place to its left
Compare the values of the same digit appearing in two different places within a number and state that one value is ten times (or one tenth of) the other
Use a place value chart and base-ten block models to demonstrate the ten-times relationship between adjacent places
Apply concepts of place value and division to explain why a number like 700 divided by 70 equals 10
