What children learn in Level 44

  • Welcome to the Measure Mill! The mill's scales run on place value. Move one place left, and a digit is worth 10 times as much.
  • Move one place right, and it's worth 1 tenth as much. This works on both sides of the point.
  • A digital scale shows it. If one playing card reads 1.3 grams, you'd expect 10 cards to read 13 grams.
  • If 10 pennies read 24 grams, you'd expect one penny to read 2.4 grams.

Georgia's K-12 Mathematics Standards:

  • 5.NR.1.1 β€” Explain that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.
