Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the quotient when dividing a whole number by powers of 10.
The core standards covered in this lesson
5.NBT.A.2 — Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10. Use whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10.
The foundational standards covered in this lesson
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 700 ÷ 70 = 10 by applying concepts of place value and division.
The essential concepts students need to demonstrate or understand to achieve the lesson objective
Suggestions for teachers to help them teach this lesson
Students will only divide in cases where the quotient is a whole number. Students will divide by 10 with decimal quotients in Topic B.

Topic B: Place Value with Decimals
Build decimal numbers to thousandths by dividing by 10 repeatedly.
Explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied by any power of 10. Recognize that in a multi-digit decimal, a digit in any place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right.
Explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is divided by a power of 10. Recognize that in a multi-digit decimal, a digit in any place represents $${\frac{1}{10}}$$ as much as it represents in the place to its left.
Topic C: Reading, Writing, Comparing, and Rounding Decimals

5.NBT.A.3.A
Compare multi-digit decimals to the thousandths based on meanings of the digits using $${>}$$, $${<}$$, or $$=$$ to record the comparison.
5.NBT.A.3.B
Use place value understanding to round decimals to the nearest whole.
5.NBT.A.4
Use place value understanding to round decimals to any place.
