🔢 Learning Number Place Values

What are Place Values?

A place value is the position of a digit in a number. Each position has its own name and value.

Basic Place Values

• Ones — first position from the right
• Tens — second position from the right
• Hundreds — third position from the right
• Thousands — fourth position from the right
• Ten Thousands — fifth position from the right
• Hundred Thousands — sixth position from the right

Example

In the number 1234:

• 4 — ones (4 × 1 = 4)
• 3 — tens (3 × 10 = 30)
• 2 — hundreds (2 × 100 = 200)
• 1 — thousands (1 × 1000 = 1000)

Total: 1000 + 200 + 30 + 4 = 1234
