4.NBT.1 Recognize that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten
times what it represents in the place to its right.
In the base-ten system, the value of each place is 10 times the value of the
place to the immediate right. For example, in the number 2,443 the digit 4 in the
hundreds place is worth ten times the digit 4 in the tens place. (400 is ten times 40,
or conversely, 40 is ten times less than 400).
What is the value of 4 in the number 4876 compared to the
value of 4 in 342?
REMEMBER, STACKING YOUR NUMBERS AND THEN UNDERLINING THE DIGIT
WILL HELP.
4876
342
10 X 10 = 100 (the place value moved 2 times therefore 10x10-100)
ANSWER:
The 4 in 4876 is 100 times greater than the 4 in 342.
Now you try…
Tom wrote the number 45,378.
How many times greater is the 7 in Bill’s
number than the 7 in Tom’s number?
Bill wrote the number 36,721
