Place Value Practice

Introduction for place value practice:

Place value is a second important concept in mathematics. It refers to the value of the digit, relative to its location in the number. The place value can be identified for any given digit in a written number, in the number 7403, the digit 4 is in the hundreds place and stands for 400. The 3 in 34 is not the same as the 3 in 23, even though both digits are 3. Is this topic Statistics Problems hard for you? Watch out for my coming posts.

This is because the 3 in 34 is in the tens place and therefore worth 30, while the 3 in 23 is in the ones place and worth only 3. Child is developing an understanding of place value up to at least the thousands. (This also means that she needs to practice skip counting starting with any number up to one thousand: 326,336,346)

Example: The number 3725 is read as three thousand seven hundred twenty- five. In it, there are 3 thousands, 7 hundreds, 2 tens, and 5 ones. A number with only ones has only one digit, one with tens two digits, and one with thousands has four digits.

Example problem for place value practice:

5 ones =             5

2 tens =            20

7 hundreds =     700

3 thousands =  3000

I have recently faced lot of problem while learning how to solve math problem, But thank to online resources of math which helped me to learn myself easily on net.

Example problem for place value practice:


Read the numbers, and then tell the place and value of the underlined digit; Up to 10 millions.

1. 5,760,000

What place is the underlined digit in?

Ten thousands place

What is the value of the underlined digit?

60,000

2.   86,003,040

What place is the underlined digit in?

Millions place

What is the value of the underlined digit?

6,000,000

3.   4,954,560

What place is the underlined digit in?

Tens place

What is the value of the underlined digit?

60

4.    5,520,254

What place is the underlined digit in?

Millions place

What is the value of the underlined digit?

5,000,000
