Place Value
__________________________________
A place value is the value assigned to the place that a digit
occupies in a number. (Example: In 346, the digit 3 is in the
hundreds place and has a value of 300).
You can use a place-value chart to help you find the value of
a number. Using the example in the number 346, each digit
has a value.
Hundreds
Tens
Ones
3
4
6
There are 3 hundreds: 300.
There are 4 tens: 40
There are 6 ones: 6

Place Values
Example 1:
What is the value of “8” in the number 784?
Hundreds
Tens
Ones
7
8
4
Step 1: Draw out a place-value chart.
Numbers, such as 784, have three digits. Each digit is a
different place value.
Step 2: Find the value of the number it is asking you
for.
The first digit is called the hundreds' place. It tells you how
many sets of one hundred are in the number. The number
784 had seven hundreds.
The middle digit is the tens' place. It tells you that there are
8 tens in addition to the seven hundreds.
The last or right digit is the ones' place which is 4 in this
example. Therefore, there are 7 sets of 100, plus 8 sets of
10, plus 4 ones in the number 784.
The value of number “8” is 80.
Example 2:
Which digit is in the thousands place in the number
6,392?
Step 1: Draw out your place-value chart.
Thousand
6
Hundreds
3
Tens
Ones
9
2
Step 2: What is the question asking?
(You need to find out which number is in the thousands
place).
Step 3: Find the digit in the thousands place.
(The number 6 is in the thousands place). Its value is 6
thousand.
