Place value – tens and ones

key notes:

Understanding Place Value:

Place value tells us the value of a digit based on its position in a number. Each place in a number has a different value, such as ones, tens, hundreds, etc.

Ones Place:

The digit in the ones place represents the number of single units. For example, in the number 34, the digit 4 is in the ones place, so it represents 4 ones.

Tens Place:

The digit in the tens place represents the number of tens. In the number 34, the digit 3 is in the tens place, so it represents 3 tens or 30.

Expanded Form:

Numbers can be written in expanded form to show their place value. For example, 34 can be written as 30 + 4.

Building Numbers:

Teach students to build numbers using tens and ones. For example, to form 57, they use 5 tens (50) and 7 ones.

Counting by Tens:

Reinforce counting by tens (10, 20, 30, etc.) to help students understand the value of the tens place.

Comparing Numbers:

Use the place value concept to compare numbers, explaining which is greater by looking at the digits in the tens and ones places.
