Key Facts & Information

LEARNING OBJECTIVE:

At the end of the lesson, students will recognize that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right.

A NOTE FOR THE TEACHER:

When teaching Place Values, keep in mind the following:
- Remind the student now and then of factors in Multiplication.
- When dealing with Place Values, it is best to demonstrate the equations visually.
- Try to incorporate as many visual aids as possible.

THEORY:

Understanding Place Values gives us a better number sense. It allows us to interpret numbers better and to understand them more. Today’s lesson will be discussing Place Values until the Hundred Thousands Place.
PLACE VALUES
- Ones: First Place Value (0; no zeroes)
- Tens: Second Place Value (00; one zero)
- Hundreds: Third Place Value (000; two zeroes)
- Thousands: Fourth Place Value (0000; three zeroes)
- Ten Thousand: Fifth Place Value (00000; four zeroes)
- Hundred Thousand: Sixth Place Value (000000; five zeroes)

In the table, we can see values in the different place values. From the table, we can understand that the number is 143,214. When you are asked for a value of the digit in a certain place value, we need to include the number of zeroes it has. For example, what is the value of the digit 3 in the thousands place? Since we know the digit (3), we simply have to add the number of zeroes in that place value. Since 3 is in the thousands place, we have to add 3 zeroes. Hence the value of the digit 3 in the thousands place is 3000. If the digit in any place value is 0 (except the one’s place), the value is not 0. For example, in the number 10,980. The value of the digit 0 in the thousands place is 1000.
One rule we have to know when discussing place values is that a digit in any place represents 10 times what it represents in the place to its right. This essentially means that the tens place value is 10x higher than the ones place value. When we say a value is 10 times higher than another, we add a zero. For example, 10 times higher than 1 is equal to 10, 10 times higher than 10 is 100, 10 times higher than 100 is 1000, and so on.
