Place Value Perfection

Place Value is how our number system works. Without it we wouldn't be able to write large numbers. Just think.... with just 10 digits - 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, we can write ANY number we choose!

That means the value of a digit (what it's worth) depends on its place (where it is in the number). Therefore we have the term PLACE... VALUE.

Get it? COOL!

So a 2 could be worth 2...20...200... depending on the place of the digit...and into the

thousands,

millions,

billions,

trillions,

and so on...

WOW!
