Understanding Place Value and Comparisons

The video tutorial introduces fourth-grade students to the concept of place value using models such as cubes, longs, and flats. It explains how each model represents a different place value and how they relate to each other in terms of size and value. The tutorial also covers the use of a place value chart to understand the value of digits in numbers and provides exercises to compare digit values. Students are guided through creating their own place value charts and analyzing patterns in place value. The session concludes with practical exercises to reinforce the concepts learned.
