Place value means each digit in a number has a specific place and value. Starting from the right the first digit will be at ones place, the second digit at tens place, the third digit at hundreds place and so on.
See the fact file below for more information on the place value or alternatively, you can download our 28-page Place Value worksheet pack to utilise within the classroom or home environment. This worksheet is broken down by Beginner, intermediate and advanced meaning you can choose the complexity level for your student.
Key Facts & Information
Summary:
- Place value means each digit in a number has a specific place and value.
- Starting from the right the first digit will be at ones place, the second digit at tens place, the third digit at hundreds place and so on.
- Example: 214
4 is at ones place with value 4
1 is at tens place with value 10
2 is at hundreds place with value 200
Place value
- It is easy to handle single digit numbers but when we have digits more than one, we need to understand the meaning of every digit in the number.
- Dealing with more digits becomes difficult at first but when we have a clear concept of the place value then handling more digits is not so difficult. Place value basically means than every digit in a number has a specific place and each place is assigned a specific value.
- Place value will help us understand the meaning of a number as a whole.
- Let us suppose we have a two digit number “14”:
- The above diagram shows that as we start from the right we have 4 at ones places with the value 4. The second digit at tens place is 1 and its value is 10.
- Let us suppose we have a three digit number “141”:
- Starting from the right 1 is on ones places and its value is 1. 4 is at tens place and its value is 40. 1 is at hundreds place and its value is 100.
- Hence every place has a significance and value is assigned accordingly. Even when we are dealing with larger numbers that have more number of digits, the same rule applies and we assign each digit with a proper place value.
- For a two digit number we have:
- For a three digit number we have:
- For a four digit number we have:
- For a five digit number “Ten-thousands” is added as the left most column.
Examples:
- We have the following three digits numbers assign place value for each digit:
200
342
117
683
- The first number has 0 at ones place, 0 at tens place and 2 at hundreds place. In other words we can say:
200 + 0 + 0 = 200
- The second number has 2 at ones place, 4 at tens place and 3 at hundreds place. In other words we can say:
300 + 40 + 2 = 342
- The third number has 7 at ones place , 1 at tens place and 1 at hundreds place. In other words we can say that:
100 + 10 + 7 = 117
- The fourth number has 3 at ones place, 8 at tens place and 6 at hundreds place. In other words we can say that:
600 + 80 + 3 = 683
- The table below shows the place value of the numbers given in the example:
- If we are given a number we can expand it using place value. Place value tells us that 12 is made up of 10 and 2 rather than 1 and 2. Similarly using place value we can expand four digit numbers, 5 digit number and so on.
Example #1:
- Find the two digit numbers using the given expanded form:
10 + 1
30 + 9
70 + 5
- The first number has 1 at ones place and 1 at tens place so the number is 11.
- The second number has 9 at ones place and 3 at tens place so the number is 39.
- The third number has 5 at ones place and 7 at tens place so the number is 75
Example #2:
- Find the three digit numbers using the given expanded form:
100 + 20 + 9
500 + 60 + 7
900 + 0 + 1
- The first number has 9 at ones place, 2 at tens place and 1 at hundreds place so the number is 129.
- The second number has 7 at ones place, 6 at tens place and 5 at hundreds place so the number is 567.
- The third number has 1 at ones place, 0 at tens place and 9 at hundreds place so the number is 901.
Example #3:
- Find the four digit number using the given expanded form:
1000 + 300 + 50 + 1
2000 + 100 + 70 + 4
7000 + 0 + 60 + 3
- The first number has 1 at ones place, 5 at tens place, 3 at hundreds place and 1 at thousands place so the number is 1351.
- The second number has 4 at ones place, 7 at tens place, 1 at hundreds place and 2 at thousands place so the number is 2174.
- The third number has 3 at ones place, 6 at tens place, 0 at hundreds place and 7 at thousands place so the number is 7063.
