Exploring the Place Value System in 5th Grade Math

In this video, Mr. J introduces the concept of place value, focusing on how the value of a digit changes depending on its position. He explains that moving a digit to the left increases its value by ten times, while moving it to the right decreases its value by one-tenth. The video includes examples using numbers like 2, 5, and 7 to illustrate these concepts. Mr. J also mentions that this is the first part of a two-part series, with a follow-up video that will include questions to further explore the place value system.
