Understanding Place Value Concepts

The video introduces fifth-grade math concepts focusing on place value and patterns. It begins with an overview and moves into a hands-on investigation using base 10 blocks to explore relationships between place value positions. The lesson emphasizes the importance of understanding how each place value is ten times greater than the one to its right and one-tenth of the one to its left. The video includes exercises using place value charts and concludes with a summary and preview of the next lesson.
