Understanding Place Value
Every digit in a number has its own special place and value!
Numbers are like secret codes where each digit's position tells us how much it's worth. Today we'll learn about the ones, tens, and hundreds places.
How to Find the Value of an Underlined Digit
1️⃣ Find the digit's place (ones, tens, or hundreds)
2️⃣ Multiply the digit by its place value
3️⃣ That's your answer! 🎉
Let's Practice Together!
Example 1: What is the value of the underlined digit?

2
7
The underlined digit is 2 in the tens place.
So its value is 2 × 10 = 20!
Example 2: What is the value of the underlined digit?
5

The underlined digit is 5 in the hundreds place.
So its value is 5 × 100 = 500! Great job! 👏
Parent Tips 🌟
- Use real objects: Count groups of 10 (pennies) and 100 (dollar bills) to show place value in action.
- Play "What's My Value?": Write numbers with underlined digits and take turns guessing the value.
- Create a place value chart: Make a colorful chart with ones, tens, and hundreds columns to visualize the concept.
