Place Value

Place value is the value of a digit based on its position within a number. Each position represents a power of ten.

To skip count by 5s, start at a number and repeatedly add 5. For example, starting at 0: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, etc.

In the number 7,432, the digit 7 is in the thousands place, so its value is 7,000.

486 can be represented using 4 hundreds (400), 8 tens (80), and 6 ones (6) in base ten blocks.

The result is 486.

You have the number 833.

You would need 40 base ten rods to make the number 400.

The last number is 919.

A digit is a single symbol used to represent numbers (0-9), while a number is a combination of digits that represents a value.

To identify the place value, look at the position of the digit from the right, starting with ones, then tens, hundreds, thousands, etc.
