Watch It Figures online: Episode 5 Understanding Place Value

In making a batch of cookies, Kaylin feels she doesn't have enough of one ingredient. She multiplies everything in the recipe by ten, and ends up with 360 cookies. Perhaps Kaylin and her friend can sell these cookies at the steps of their school. When the time comes to photocopy their print ad, Kaylin unknowingly increases the print volume from 12 copies to about 100. Now she knows that putting any digit to the right of a number, increases the value of the whole number (by at least ten).
