Introduction
Place value tells the value of a number/digit within a number. Numbers are noted as:
- Ones
- Tens
- Hundres
- Thousands
- Ten thousands
- Hundred thousands
- Millions
Numbers are placed right to left (starting with the ones column)
Task
Draw a place value chart correctly.
Identify the value of the numbers in bold/underlined.
Write the value of numbers in words.
Write the numbers given in expanded form.
Write the standard form of the numbers given.
Process
Hundreds | Tens | Ones | value |
3 | 5 | 0 | tens |
0 | 1 | 7 | hundreds |
The number 350 is placed on the place value chart from right to left starting with the ones column. The value of a number is determined by the column in which it appears.
Therefore, 5 in the tens column means 5x10 which can be written as 5 tens or 50.
017, 0 in the hundreds column means that there are no hundreds.
NB 0 in any column means that there is nothing.
