The Multiplying Rap

The Multiplying Rap

Hey Dude get into the groove,

Multiplying by ten, makes the digits move ,

One place to the left, all the numbers go,

Leaves- a place -at the end for a zero.

One zero- moves in, to hold the place,

When all the digits moved, they left one space.

Your - start number, has now increased ,

It’s ten times bigger - what a relief!!

Hey Dude get into the groove,

Multiplying by a hundred , makes the digits move.

Two places to the left the digits go,

Now there’s space for two zeros

Two zeros move in to hold these places,

When the digits moved they left two spaces.

Hey Dude get into the groove,

Multiplying by a thousand ,makes the digits move.

Three places to the left the digits go,

Now there’s space for three zeros
