    What Is Place Value?

    Place value, as the name itself suggests, is the value of a digit based on its position within a number. Place value is a fundamental concept in mathematics. 

    Each digit holds a different place value, which is determined by its position relative to the decimal point. So, two same digits in different positions within a number have different place values. For example, in the number 212, the place value of the rightmost digit 2 is 2, whereas the place value of the leftmost digit 2 is 200.

    The rightmost digit represents the ones place (units place), followed by tens, hundreds, thousands, and so on, as you move left. Each place value is ten times greater than the one to its right. Each digit's place value contributes to the overall value of the number.

    What Is the Place Value Chart?

    A place value chart is a visual representation of place values of digits within a number. It consists of columns representing different place values, such as ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, and so on. Each column is labeled with the corresponding place value. 

    In the International place value system, we have three periods: ones, thousands, and millions, for the nine places from right to left. Each period contains three places. 

    Note: Each place-value is 10 times the place-value to its immediate right.

    What Is the Place Value Chart for Decimals?

    If a decimal number has two parts — a whole number part and a fractional part, separated by the decimal point. So, the place value chart of decimals has some extra columns to accommodate the places after the decimal point.

    The first section before the decimal point denotes the whole number part, and the section after the decimal point denotes the fractional or decimal part. 

    Note: Here, the place value of the hundredths place is \(\frac{1}{10}\) times the place value of the tenths place, the place value of the thousandths place is \(\frac{1}{10}\) times the place value of the  hundredths place, and so on.

    How To Find Place Values

    The place value chart makes it easy to find the place values of a number. The digits of a number are written in the appropriate column, indicating their value based on their position. The chart helps in understanding the magnitude of numbers.

    To understand how to calculate place values, we have to understand the pattern followed by the different place values in the place value chart.

    Place Values for the Whole Number Part

    Similarly, as you move further to the left, each place value is 10 times bigger than the place value to its immediate right.

    Example: 375 = three hundreds, seven tens, and five ones

    Place value of 3 = 300

    Place value of 7 = 70

    Place value of 5 = 5

    Here are some more examples of place values in whole numbers:

    Ten Thousands

    (10,000)

    Thousands

    (1,000)

    Hundreds

    (100)

    Tens

    (10)

    Ones

    (1)

    		 Number
            7 7
          4 9 40 + 9 = 49
        2 5 8 200 + 50 + 8 = 258
      6 2 7 3 6,000 + 200 + 70 + 3 = 6273
    4 2 1 7 6 40,000+ 2,000 + 100 + 70 + 6 = 42176


    Place Values for the Decimal Number Part

    Similarly, as you move further to the right, each place value is \(\frac{1}{10}\) times bigger than the place value to its immediate left.

    Example: Let’s write all the digits of the decimal number 123.456 and their respective place values in the place value chart.

    Hundreds

    (H)

    Tens

    (T)

    Ones

    (O)

    Decimal Point

    .

    Tenths

    (t)

    Hundredths

    (h)

    Thousandths

    (th)
    1 2 3   4 5 6
    100 20 3 \(\frac{4}{10}\) = 0.4 \(\frac{5}{100}\) = 0.05 \(\frac{6}{1000}\) = 0.006


    Thus, 123.456 =  100 + 20 + 3 + 0.4 + 0.05 + 0.006

    What Is the Expanded Form of Numbers?

    Expanded form is a way of representing a number by breaking it down into the sum of its individual place values. Each digit in the number is written separately, multiplied by its corresponding place value, and then summed together. 

    Examples: 

    i) 436 = 400 + 30 + 6

    ii) 99.64 = 90 +9+0.6+0.04

    This representation emphasizes the value of each digit in relation to its place within the number. Expanded form is a useful tool for understanding the composition of numbers and can aid in various mathematical operations such as addition and subtraction.

    Playful Learning: Hands-on Tools for Teaching Place Values

    1. Counters

    Counters are colorful discs with markings that help build upon the basic counting skills learned in kindergarten. These discs, representing unit ones, tens, and hundreds, are used to decompose a number according to its place value, visually representing each digit.

    For example, the number 8, 46 and 372 using counters are represented as:

    Representation of different numbers using place-value counters/discs

    2. Base-ten blocks (base-10 blocks)

    Similar to counters, base-10 blocks provide an effective and easy-to-understand introduction to the place-value system. Beginning with the unit block representing "1," these blocks are designed as "tens" and "hundreds" to visually demonstrate the concept of place value.

    Example: Observe the given image of different base-10 blocks.

    Each orange block represents thousands.

    Each green block represents hundreds.

    Each blue block represents tens.

    Each pink block represents ones.
