Place Value

See Lesson Ideas for this topic

Help your children understand the relationship between numbers and place value. Place value is the value of a digit depending on its position in the number, such as ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands places. Any number can be broken down by its place value. For example, 32 can been broken down into 32 ones or 3 groups of ten and 2 ones. We recommend giving your children plenty of manipulatives to explore and represent a variety of numbers.
