Convert between place values

๐ŸŽ‡1. Understanding Place Value:

  • Place Value Definition: Place value refers to the value of a digit depending on its position in a number.
  • Place Value Positions: Common place values include ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands.

โœจ2. Basic Place Value Positions:

  • Ones Place: The first digit from the right.
    • Example: In 423, the digit 3 is in the ones place.
  • Tens Place: The second digit from the right.
    • Example: In 423, the digit 2 is in the tens place.
  • Hundreds Place: The third digit from the right.
    • Example: In 423, the digit 4 is in the hundreds place.
  • Thousands Place: The fourth digit from the right.
    • Example: In 5,423, the digit 5 is in the thousands place.

๐ŸŽŸ3. Converting Between Place Values:

  • Moving Left (Increasing Place Value):
    • When you move a digit one place to the left, its value becomes 10 times greater.
    • Example: Moving the digit 3 from the ones place to the tens place changes its value from 3 to 30.
  • Moving Right (Decreasing Place Value):
    • When you move a digit one place to the right, its value becomes 10 times smaller.
    • Example: Moving the digit 4 from the hundreds place to the tens place changes its value from 400 to 40.

๐ŸŽ‰4. Converting Example:

  • Example 1: Convert 5 tens to ones:
    • 5 tens = 50 ones (because 5 ร— 10 = 50).
  • Example 2: Convert 3 hundreds to tens:
    • 3 hundreds = 30 tens (because 3 ร— 100 = 300 and 300 รท 10 = 30).

๐ŸŽซ5. Expanded Form to Standard Form:

  • Expanded Form: A way to break down a number by its place value.
    • Example: 342 = 300 + 40 + 2
  • Converting Expanded Form to Standard Form:
    • Add the place values together to get the number: 300 + 40 + 2 = 342.
  • Practice: Convert numbers from expanded form to standard form and vice versa.

๐ŸŽ„6. Relating Place Values:

  • Understanding Relationships: Recognize that 10 ones = 1 ten, 10 tens = 1 hundred, and so on.
    • Example: In the number 1,234, the 2 in the hundreds place is worth 200, which is the same as 20 tens.
  • Decomposition: Break down a number to show how it is made up of different place values.
    • Example: 456 can be decomposed into 400 (hundreds), 50 (tens), and 6 (ones).

๐ŸŽŸ7. Converting Between Standard and Expanded Form:

  • Standard Form to Expanded Form:
    • Example: 729 in expanded form is 700 + 20 + 9.
  • Expanded Form to Standard Form:
    • Example: 600 + 50 + 4 = 654 in standard form.

๐ŸŽจ8. Using Place Value Charts:

  • Place Value Chart: A tool that visually helps students see how digits are placed in different columns based on their value.
  • Conversion Practice:
    • Use a place value chart to convert numbers between different forms.
    • Example: Write the number 1,236 on a place value chart and show how each digit relates to its place value.

Learn with an example

Let’s find the missing number in this equation.

We have:

1 hundred = 10 tens

โ€‚ โ€‚ โ€‚ โ€‚ โ€‚ โ€‚  = 100 ones

Now, find the number of hundreds in 5,000 ones. Count by hundreds.

50 hundreds = 5,000 ones

Solve:

Now work out how many ones you can make from 6 hundreds. Count by hundreds.

6 hundreds = 600 ones

Solve:

Now work out how many ones you can make from 8 tens. Count by tens.

8 tens = 80 ones
