Johnson, Talisa / Math Place Value

Place Value is how our number system works. Without it we wouldn't be able to write large numbers. Just think.... with just 10 digits - 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, we can write ANY number we choose!
That means the value of a digit (what it's worth) depends on its place (where it is in the number). Therefore we have the term PLACE VALUE.

So a 2 could be worth 2...20...200...2,000 and into the
millions, billions, trillions, and so on, and so on, and so on! WOW!

Parents, the following website features a video that can help your child review the important and foundational concept of place value.
