Exploring Place Value: Ones, Tens, Hundreds, and Thousands

The video tutorial explains the concept of place value using two numbers: 4,365 and 4,789. It demonstrates how each digit in a number represents a different value based on its position, such as thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones. The tutorial challenges common misconceptions by comparing digits and showing that a digit with a higher place value is greater, even if its numerical value is lower. This is illustrated through examples, emphasizing the importance of understanding place value in mathematics.

• 4, because it represents 4,000

• Cannot be determined

• Both are equal

Why is the digit 3 considered to have a higher value than 5 in the number 4,365?

• Because 3 is visually larger

• Both have the same value

• Because 5 only represents 5

• Because 3 represents 300

In the number 4,789, which digit represents a lower value, 9 or 7?

• 9, because it represents 9

• Cannot be determined

• 7, because it represents 700
