🎯 Let’s Find the Place Value Superhero! 🦸‍♂️

Place value tells us the "home" of each digit in a number. It's like giving every number its own special seat at the dinner table!

Think of numbers as a train 🚂. Each car has a job, and each digit knows where it belongs. First comes ones, then tens, then hundreds—just like cars on a track!

How to Find the Place Value Hero:

1. Look at your number carefully. Say it out loud if you want!
2. Start from the right side—that’s where the ones live. Ones are tiny but mighty!
3. Move one step left to find the tens. Tens are bigger, like superheroes with capes!
4. If there’s another step left, that’s the hundreds. Hundreds are the leaders of the team!

First comes ones, then comes tens, then comes hundreds—step by step we go!

Let’s Solve Together!

We have the number 352. Can you find which digit is in the tens place?

• The ones place is 2 (on the far right).
• The tens place is 5 (one step to the left).
• The hundreds place is 3 (two steps to the left).

So, the digit in the tens place is 5. Great job finding it! 🎉

Tips for Parents:

Teaching place value can be fun! Here are some ideas:

• Use colorful objects like blocks or candies to represent ones, tens, and hundreds.
• Play games like “Guess My Number” using place value clues.
• Sing songs about place value together (e.g., “Ones, tens, hundreds, let’s count them all!”).
• Encourage kids to draw trains or houses to show where each digit lives.
