Hey there! Are you ready to learn about place value? It’s a super cool way to understand numbers better. Let’s dive in and become number-reading champions together!
First, let’s talk about the word “digit.” A digit is any number from 0 to 9. For example, in the number 356, there are three digits: 3, 5, and 6. Isn’t that neat?
Now, let’s learn about place value. Place value tells us how much each digit in a number is worth. We have ones, tens, and hundreds. Let’s see how it works:
Let’s look at the number 567. Each digit has its own place value:
When we add them up, 500 + 60 + 7 equals 567!
Let’s have some fun with a quick quiz:
We’ve talked about ones, tens, and hundreds. But what happens next? After hundreds, we have thousands!
Can you see the pattern? It keeps going to millions and even billions!
Let’s wrap up with a few more questions:
Place value is super important for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing numbers. Keep practicing, and you’ll be a math whiz in no time!

Place Value Treasure Hunt: Go on a number treasure hunt around your home! Find different numbers on clocks, calendars, or even food packages. Write down a few numbers you find and identify the place value of each digit. For example, if you see the number 245 on a cereal box, ask yourself: What is the value of the 2? What about the 4 and the 5?
Build a Number with Blocks: Use building blocks or small objects to represent different place values. For example, use one block for ones, a stack of ten blocks for tens, and a larger stack for hundreds. Try building different numbers, like 134 or 256, and explain what each stack represents. This will help you see how numbers are made up of different place values.
Place Value Art: Create a piece of art using numbers! Draw a big number, like 789, on a piece of paper. Then, color each digit differently and write down what each digit represents in terms of place value. For example, color the 7 and write “700” next to it, the 8 with “80,” and the 9 with “9.” This will help you visualize how each digit contributes to the whole number.

Welcome to our lesson on place value for kids! Today, we will learn all about place value and do some activities together to help you become number-reading champions.
First, let’s talk about the word “digit.” We use the word “digit” to refer to any number from 0 to 9. In the number 356, there are three digits: one, two, three. How many digits are in this number? That’s right, it’s three again!
Numbers can be made up of one digit, two digits, or many digits. Each digit in a number has something called a place value.
What is place value? Place value tells us how much each digit in a number represents. This chart represents the values: ones, tens, and hundreds. It’s important to learn the value of each digit in a number. For example, the number five in the ones place has a value of five. But if we move the five to the tens place, we now have five tens, or the number fifty. If we move that five over one more time to the hundreds place, we now have five hundreds, or five hundred.
Let’s look at a number with three different digits: this number is 567. Each of those three digits has a specific place value. The place value is now listed below each digit. This number has the place values in the hundreds, tens, and ones. There are seven ones, which equals seven; six tens, or sixty; and five hundreds, or five hundred. You can also think of this number as 500 plus 60 plus 7, which equals 567.
With place value, you will always put the final digit of any whole number in the ones column, and then all the other numbers will automatically fall into their correct columns. If the number only has two digits, we again start with the ones column and insert the last number there. The 3 in the tens column represents three tens, or thirty, in this number, and the 4 in the ones column represents four ones, or four.
We do the same thing if the number is only one digit, like in the number six. The six gets inserted into the ones column, which means this digit represents six ones.
**Quick Quiz:**
In the number 786, which digit is in the tens place? Did you say eight? That’s right! There are eight tens, or 80. Which digit is in the hundreds place? Did you say seven? You got it! There are seven hundreds, or seven hundred. Finally, how many ones are there? I bet you said six. You’re on a roll! 786 is the same as seven hundred plus eighty plus six.
So far, we’ve only looked at numbers with three digits. Let’s talk about the place values after hundreds. The largest three-digit number we have is 999. The next number is one thousand and has four digits. Can you guess what the next place value is named? Did you say one thousand? Great job!
So what do you think the name of the next added place value column is? Did you say ten thousand? If so, you’re exactly right! How about the next one? It’s hundred thousands.
Can you see the ones, tens, and hundreds pattern repeating? On this next chart, we get to the millions place value. The pattern then repeats again to ten millions, one hundred millions, and then billions.
We’ve practiced assigning place values to different numbers. Here are a few final questions to help you review:
1. Fill in the blank: “Digit is another word for ______.” Did you say number? Awesome!
2. True or false: The last digit of any whole number always goes in the ones column. True! No matter how big or small the number, the last digit always has a ones place value.
3. Which digit in the number 1472 goes in the tens place value column? Did you say seven? Fantastic work, number experts!
Place value is a really important tool you’ll use to help you add, subtract, and even multiply and divide numbers. Hope you had fun learning with us! Visit us at learnbrite.org for thousands of free resources and turnkey solutions for teachers and homeschoolers.
