Grade: 5 Strand: Math
Concept: Place Value and Exponents
Score PVE1—Recognizes that the rela onship between adjacent digits is 10
3.0 mes or 1/10 .
● Explains that in a mul -digit number, a digit in one place represents
10 mes as much as it represents to the right.
● Explains that in a mul -digit number, a digit in one place represents
1/10 of what it represents in the place to its le .
PVE2—Evaluates whole numbers based on place value and raised to
whole-number powers
● Explains that a value raised to a power represents the
mul plica on of 1 by that value the number of mes indicated by
the exponent. (For example, 53 is equal to 1 mul plied by 5 three
mes (1 x 5 x 5 x 5)).
● Explains the difference between mul plying a number by a second
number and raising the first number to the power indicated by the
second number. (For example, explain that 5 x 3 = 5 + 5 + 5 = 15,
but 53 = 5 x 5 x 5 = 125).
● Explains that a base raised to a power of 1 indicates a single
instance of that base, or 1 mul plied by the base one me, and is
equal to the base. For example, 61 is equal to 1 x 6 or 6.
● Rewrites whole numbers raised to whole-number powers in
standard form.
PVE3—Evaluates expressions involving whole-number powers of 10
● Applies the order of opera ons (parentheses, exponents,
mul plica on/division, addi on/subtrac on) to expressions
involving exponents.
● Rewrites a power of ten in standard form as a number in
exponen al form. (For example, rewrite 100,000 as 105).
● Rewrites a mul ple of 10 as a value mul plied by 10 the
appropriate number of mes. (For example, rewrite 57,000 as 57 x
10 x 10 x 10).
● Explains that dividing by a value raised to a given power is
equivalent to dividing by that value the number of mes indicated
by the power. (For example, 250,000 ÷ 103 = 250,000 ÷ 10 ÷ 10 ÷
10).

PVE1— I can explain that the rela onship between bordering digits is
10 mes or 1/10 .
● I can explain that in a mul -digit number, a digit in one place
represents 10 mes as much as it represents to the right.
● I can explain that in a mul -digit number, a digit in one place
represents 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its le .
PVE2— I can solve whole number bases raised to whole-number
powers forms using my knowledge of place values
● I can explain that a number, when raised to a power, is
mul plied by 1 and then itself the amount of mes indicated
by the power.
● I can explain the difference between solving 2-factor
mul plica on problems and exponents . (For example, explain
the difference between 10 x 3 and 103).
● I can explain why a base raised to a power of 1 will be
equivalent to the value of the base. For example, 61 is equal to
1 x 6 or 6.
● I can rewrite whole numbers raised to whole-number powers
in standard form.
PVE3— I can evaluate expressions involving whole-number powers of
10
● I can apply the order of opera ons (parentheses, exponents,
mul plica on/division, addi on/subtrac on) to numerical
expressions involving exponents.
● I can convert powers of ten to exponen al, exponen al
expanded, and standard form.
● I can explain that dividing by a number (dividend) by a divisor
raised to a power is equivalent to dividing the dividend by the
divisor the amount of mes indicated by the power. (For
example, 250,000 ÷ 103 = 250,000 ÷ 10 ÷ 10 ÷ 10).
● I can determine the number of zeroes that will be in the
solu on of a mul plica on or division problem when
mul plying or dividing by powers of 10
4
 ● Determines the number of zeroes that will be placed at or removed
from the end of a number mul plied or divided by 10 a given
number of mes. (For example, when given the problem 6 x 104, or
6 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10, explain that the answer will be a 6 followed
by four zeroes (60,000) and when given the problem 28,000 ÷ 102,
or 28,000 ÷ 10 ÷ 10, explain that the answer will have two fewer
zeroes than 28,000 (280)).
