Place Value

🧮 Place Value

Place Value allows kids to recognize that every number's value depends on its position in the number. This is key for performing reading, writing, and comparing different numbers. Studying place value helps with addition, subtraction, and other advanced math topics, such as multiplication and division. Learning place value increases your ability to work with big numbers and boosts your confidence.

Tens and Ones

They figure out that numbers made up of tens and ones represent tens and ones respectively. The number 34 is made up of 3 tens and 4 ones. Teaching how to write numbers aids children in constructing them mentally and adds to their skills in math operations. Working with things like blocks or base-ten charts helps students visualize and understand math better. Developing the ability to use tens and ones is necessary to improve in mental math and work quickly with numbers.

Activity Idea

Build a Place Value Train - Use linking cubes or straws to group tens and ones.
