Place Value

Understanding Place Value When Reading and Writing Numbers

We use the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 to write numbers. The value of each digit or numeral depends on its position or place.

You can use place value models to show numbers.

Example: Look at the place value models. What number is shown?

The standard form is 243

You read 243 as "two hundred forty-­‐three."

The value of the digit 2 is 200. The value of the 4 is 40. The value of the 3 is 3. The expanded form is: 200 + 40 + 3 = 243
