Power of Ten

In this short math video we will answer a standardized math test question where we demonstrate our understanding of place value relative to power of ten. We will first understand that a power of ten with an exponent of 1 is 10. The 10 represents the factor that is multiplied by itself 1 time. We will understand that 10 squared is equal to 100. A power of 10 written in standard form will be 1 followed by the number of zeros equal to the exponent. We will count the zeros in the given number, write the value as a power of ten and identify the correct answer choice. An exemplar solution is modeled and explained.
