Place Value Chart and Expanded Form Practice for Students
FAQs on Place Value Worksheets for Kids – Practice and Learn Digit Values
1. What is place value for kids?
Place value for kids explains that the value of a digit in a number depends on its position. This fundamental concept in maths helps children understand that a digit's value changes based on where it is, such as in the ones, tens, or hundreds place.
For example, in the number 245:
- The digit 5 is in the ones place, so its value is 5.
- The digit 4 is in the tens place, so its value is 40.
- The digit 2 is in the hundreds place, so its value is 200.
2. What is a place value chart?
A place value chart is a table used in maths to help understand the value of each digit in a number based on its position. It visually organises numbers into columns like Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, and so on, making it easier to see the digit value.
This tool is excellent for learning to:
- Read and write large numbers.
- Understand concepts like expanded form.
- Compare and order numbers correctly.
- Perform operations like addition and subtraction with regrouping.
3. What is the difference between place value and face value in maths?
The key difference is that face value is the digit itself, while place value is what that digit is worth in a number. These two concepts are fundamental in understanding the number system.
Here is a breakdown:
- Face Value: The face value of a digit is simply the digit itself, regardless of its position. In the number 6,382, the face value of 8 is just 8.
- Place Value: The place value is the value of the digit based on its position (ones, tens, hundreds, etc.). In 6,382, the digit 8 is in the tens place, so its place value is 80 (8 x 10).
4. How do you find the place value of an underlined digit?
To find the value of an underlined digit, you must identify its position in the number and then multiply the digit by its positional value. These types of questions are common in a maths place value worksheet.
For example, in the number 4,567:
- Step 1: Identify the underlined digit, which is 5.
- Step 2: Determine its position. Counting from the right, it is in the hundreds place.
- Step 3: Calculate its value. The value is 5 x 100 = 500.
5. How do you write a number in expanded form?
Writing a number in expanded form means breaking it down into the sum of the place values of each of its digits. This is a common activity in our worksheets to reinforce the concept of digit value.
For example, to write the number 7,892 in expanded form:
- The place value of 7 is 7,000.
- The place value of 8 is 800.
- The place value of 9 is 90.
- The place value of 2 is 2.
