Exponent notation
An exponent (or power) is a small number placed in the upper right hand corner of another number to note how many times a base is being multiplied by itself.
For example, in the expression $10^3$103 the number $10$10 is the base term and the number $3$3 is the exponent (or power). The expression $10^3$103 is the same as $10\times10\times10$10×10×10, or the number $10$10 multiplied $3$3 times.
Think of the base as that being closest to the ground, and the exponent (or power) is above.

Question 3
Rewrite $1000$1000 using an exponent.
When we are multiplying our number by $10$10, it's the same as moving each of the digits to the left one place value position. Doing this will mean we also add a zero to the number as a zero place-holder.
We do the opposite for division, so when we divide by $10$10, we move each of the digits one place value to the right, just like this example.
