Place Value Module 3 Mrs. Searls
What is place value? Place value is how much a digit is worth depending on where it is in a number. For example in the number 675 What is the value of the 6?
Numbers are read left to right… So, think about our example 675 The 6 is in the hundreds So its value is 600
Let’s look at that again… 675 Here is the same number, but this time, let’s look at the 7. It is in the tens place, so you think of it as 7tens. How much is 7 tens? 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70
Now let’s look at the ones… 675 The number 5 is in the ones place so the value is 5 ones 1,2,3,4, 5
So it looks like this…. 675
