Real-World Examples of Place Value for Kids (Grade 4)

📚 Quick Study Guide

🔢 Place Value Basics: Each digit in a number has a specific value based on its position. We use ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, and so on. 🏘️ Understanding Place Value: Think of it like houses in a neighborhood. The 'ones' house is the first, then the 'tens' house, then the 'hundreds' house, and so on. 💰 Real-World Example (Money): In the number 345, the 3 is in the hundreds place (300 dollars), the 4 is in the tens place (40 dollars), and the 5 is in the ones place (5 dollars). 📏 Expanded Form: Breaking down a number by its place value. For example, $528 = (5 \times 100) + (2 \times 10) + (8 \times 1)$. ➕ Adding with Place Value: Keep your ones, tens, hundreds columns aligned when adding large numbers. This helps prevent mistakes! 💡 Tip: Always start identifying place values from right to left!
