Description

Place Value is the foundation of our number system, which allows us to determine the actual worth of a digit based on its specific position within a number. In this lesson, we move beyond basic counting to explore how numbers are organized into groups of Units, Thousands, and Millions. By using a Place Value Table, we learn that as a digit moves one position to the left, its value increases ten times. Understanding this concept is essential for correctly reading large numbers, writing them in words, and mastering the expanded form, which breaks a number down into the sum of its individual values.
