1. \( 10 \times 10 \times 10 \)

Did you know that multiplying numbers is just a way to add the same number multiple times? In this case, \( 10 \times 10 \times 10 \) is like saying you have ten groups of ten, and then you multiply that whole group by another ten. It’s like stacking ten boxes of ten toys each; in total, you end up with 1,000 toys! But watch out for the common mistake of misplacing a zero! If you were to mistakenly do \( 10 \times 10 \) first and get 100, then forgetting to multiply it by 10 again could lead to thinking the answer is 100 instead of the correct 1,000. Just remember to keep track of your multiplications in order, and you’ll be golden!
