Place value names up to thousands

key notes :

🎇What is Place Value?

• Place Value: The value of each digit in a number based on its position.
• Positions: In a four-digit number, the positions are thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones.

✨ Place Value Names:

Thousands Place:

The digit in the thousands place represents how many thousands are in the number.

• Example: In 3,452, the digit 3 is in the thousands place, so its value is 3,000.

Hundreds Place:

The digit in the hundreds place represents how many hundreds are in the number.

• Example: In 3,452, the digit 4 is in the hundreds place, so its value is 400.

Tens Place:

The digit in the tens place represents how many tens are in the number.

• Example: In 3,452, the digit 5 is in the tens place, so its value is 50.

Ones Place:

The digit in the ones place represents the number of ones.

• Example: In 3,452, the digit 2 is in the ones place, so its value is 2.

✨ Reading Numbers Using Place Value Names:

When reading a four-digit number, start with the thousands, then the hundreds, then the tens, and finally the ones.

• Example: The number 7,865 is read as “seven thousand eight hundred sixty-five.”

Practice: Read various four-digit numbers aloud to understand how each digit’s place value is named.

🎁 Writing Numbers in Expanded Form:

Expanded Form: Writing a number by showing the value of each digit.

• Example: 4,293 in expanded form is 4,000 + 200 + 90 + 3.

Practice: Write numbers in expanded form to reinforce understanding of place value names.

🎄 Identifying Place Value Names:

Place Value Identification: Given a number, identify the value of each digit.

• Example: In 5,742, the digit 5 is in the thousands place (5,000), 7 is in the hundreds place (700), 4 is in the tens place (40), and 2 is in the ones place (2).

🧨 Using Place Value Charts:

Place Value Chart: A visual tool to help students identify and name place values.

Example: For the number 8,163:

• Thousands: 8 (Eight thousand)

• Hundreds: 1 (One hundred)

• Tens: 6 (Sixty)

• Ones: 3 (Three)

Practice: Fill in place value charts with different numbers to see how each digit fits into its place value.

🎉Comparing and Ordering Numbers Using Place Value:

Comparing Numbers: Use place value names to compare and order numbers.

• Example: To compare 2,345 and 2,789, start by comparing the thousands place. Since both have 2 in the thousands place, move to the next digit, and compare the hundreds.

Ordering Numbers: Arrange numbers in ascending or descending order by comparing their place values.

• Example: Order 3,215, 4,567, and 3,789 in ascending order: 3,215, 3,789, 4,567
