There
are two ways to multiply
and divide by 10 - the proper way and the cheating way.
The cheating way to a sum such as 5 x 10 is to stick a zero on the 5 (so
5 x 10 = 50). The cheating way to do a sum such as 70 ÷ 10 is to
knock a zero off the 70 (so 70 ÷ 10 = 7). As for the proper way,
you start talking about place value and place holders and digits shifting
along one to the left when x, and one to the right when ÷. We'll
talk about that later...

when ÷. We'll talk about that later...

2-D
stands for 'two-dimensional'.
It is a flat shape, like one drawn on a board or a shadow. You can only
measure it in two directions: along and across. (O.k., if a shadow is
on a wall, it would be across and up, but you can still only measure it
in two directions).

3-D
stands for 'three-dimensional'.
It is any object that is not flat, like you or a building. You can measure
it in three directions: across, along and up.
