Place value in math tells us the value of a digit with a number. For instance, if you were given the number 637,923 and asked the value of the 9 within this number. The value is not 9, it is 900 because the number is in the hundreds place. The first seven non-decimal places start at the ones place and then advance to the tens, hundreds, thousands, ten-thousands, hundred-thousands, and finish with millions. The interesting thing is that the decimals follow the same pattern expect the do not have a complementary ones column, instead they start at the tenths. This topic will explore the different ways in which can show this to readers.

In these worksheets, students identify the place values of digits within a number in order to fill in blank values in word problems. You will learn to break down entire integers into the value of each digit within each very large number sets. This really helps students begin to understand the impact of each digit in a large number. It also starts to stimulate algebraic thinking.
