Problem of the Day 1.1 How can you describe the relationship between two
place-value positions?
A farmer sells produce at the market in
38-pound crates. If he sells 100 crates, how
many pounds of produce has he sold?
Making Connections
Invite students to tell you what they know about place value. Ask the
3,800 pounds following questions.
