In the previous lesson, students wrote multi-digit numbers in expanded form to highlight the value of each digit. They also described the “ten times” relationship between the value of a digit in one place and the value of the same digit in the place to its right. In this lesson, students use multiplication and division equations to represent this relationship.

Use equations to express the relationship between the value of a digit and its value in the place to its right.
Let's write equations to show the relationship between the digits in multi-digit numbers.

4.NBT.A.1
Recognize that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right. For example, recognize that by applying concepts of place value and division.
Read and write multi-digit whole numbers using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form. Compare two multi-digit numbers based on meanings of the digits in each place, using , =, and symbols to record the results of comparisons.
