Exploring Place Value Relationships with Base Ten Blocks

This video tutorial by Mr. Math Blog covers the concept of place value relationships using base 10 blocks. It explains how digits in different positions represent values that are ten times greater than the position to their right. The tutorial demonstrates building numbers up to 10,000 using cubes, longs, and flats, and extends this pattern to larger numbers like 100,000. It also includes a place value chart to help understand the value of digits in multi-digit numbers and compares the values of digits in different positions.
