Understanding Place Value Concepts

Miss Gru introduces place value, explaining how digits represent values based on their position. Using a place value chart, she demonstrates how each column is ten times the value of the one to its right. Through examples, she illustrates how to determine the value of digits in multi-digit numbers, emphasizing the base 10 system. The lesson concludes with complex examples, reinforcing the concept that each place value is ten times greater than the one to its right.
