- Telling place from value
Worksheet Preview
Place tells you the value
A digit’s value depends on its place. The 4 in 247 isn’t just “4” - it sits in the tens place, so it’s worth 40. Telling place (the position) from value (what it’s worth) is a key place-value idea that powers expanded form and rounding later.
How to use it
Have students point to the place the digit is in first - ones, tens, or hundreds - then write its value. Watch for kids who answer with the digit itself. Builds on place value to the hundreds and pairs with expanded form.
👩🏫 Teacher note
Place names the position; value is what the digit is worth there. The 4 in 247 is in the tens place, so its value is 40. Have students point to the place first.
🏠 Parent note
Find which column the digit is in. The 4 in 247 is in the tens place, so it is worth 40.
Common Mistakes to Watch For
- Giving the digit instead of its value (4 instead of 40)
- Reading the wrong place
