About powers of 10 worksheets

A power of 10 such as 10 to the power of 4 is a 1 followed by four zeros. Pick one skill or mix them: write a power of 10 as a number (10 to the power of 3 is 1,000), write a number as a power of 10, multiply a number by a power of 10, or divide by one. The largest exponent can be 2 up to 6.

Multiplying or dividing by a power of 10 only moves the decimal point, and every answer here can be checked that way. Switch decimals off to use whole numbers only. The solved example explains the move in words. Every sheet has an answer key, and there is a large-print version.
