Renaming

Renaming is writing a number in an equivalent form, usually in terms of its place-value parts.

For example:

462 is 4 hundreds 6 tens and 2 ones, but it can be renamed as 46 tens and 2 ones, or 4 hundreds and 62 ones

4.35 = 4 ones, 3 tenths, 5 hundredths = 43 tenths, 5 hundredths = 435 hundredths
