Place value is the idea that where a digit sits tells you its value. A ten-rod is ten ones snapped together; a unit cube is one. Count the rods by tens and then the loose cubes by ones — three rods and four cubes make 34.
Quick way to teach it: Always count the tens first, then the ones. Say it out loud: "three tens and four ones makes thirty-four." Lining the rods up beside the cubes makes the two place values impossible to mix up.
Always count the tens first, then the ones. Say it out loud: "three tens and four ones makes thirty-four." Lining the rods up beside the cubes makes the two place values impossible to mix up. Print a fresh sheet, read a few piles together each day, and check with the answer key — short, regular practice beats one long session.
This is usually taught in Grade 1 & Grade 2. Place value is the idea that where a digit sits tells you its value. A ten-rod is ten ones snapped together; a unit cube is one. Count the rods by tens and then the loose cubes by ones — three rods and four cubes make 34.
Place value is the rule that a digit's position gives its size: in 235 the 2 means two hundreds, the 3 means three tens and the 5 means five ones. Base-ten blocks make it concrete — a unit cube is one, a rod is ten ones, and a flat is a hundred ones — so kids can count the blocks and read off each digit.
