Each digit in its place gives a number its overall value. What is Place Value? Numbers are made from digits - 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. When we create numbers using these digits, every digit has a place. Each place within a number has a value. Each digit in its place gives a number its overall value.

Place Value in Base 10 Our numbers use a place value system based on groups of ten. This means that each place value column is ten times larger than the column before. 3-digit numbers are made up of hundreds, tens and ones. Hundreds Tens Ones 1 group of 10 tens 1 group of 10 ones 1 one

Applying Place Value to 3-Digit Numbers Saying a number aloud can help us place each digit correctly when writing a number. For example, when saying the number 126 aloud (one hundred and twenty-six), we know it is made up of 1 hundred, 2 tens and 6 ones. Hundreds Tens Ones 1 group of 10 tens 2 groups of 10 ones 6 ones

Applying Place Value to 3-Digit Numbers Say each number aloud, then add it to the place value chart. 3-Digit Number Hundreds Tens Ones four hundred and twelve two hundred and sixty eight hundred and thirty-one five hundred and ninety-seven

Applying Place Value to 3-Digit Numbers - Answers Did you write each number correctly? 3-Digit Number Hundreds Tens Ones four hundred and twelve 4 1 2 two hundred and sixty 6 eight hundred and thirty-one 8 3 five hundred and ninety-seven 5 9 7

Applying Place Value to 3-Digit Numbers In pairs, use the hundreds, tens and ones sombreros from the 3-Digit Place Value Cacti activity to create a set of 3-digit numbers. Record each number in your workbook.

Partitioning Numbers When working with numbers, especially larger numbers, it can be very helpful to break the number down into smaller parts. Breaking a number down using place value can help us to see each smaller part that the number is made from. The process of breaking a number into smaller parts is called partitioning.

Partitioning and Expanding Numbers When a number has been partitioned, it becomes easier to work with. Each smaller part of the number can then be separated and expanded. Once expanded, the place value of each smaller part can be identified and added together. A 3-digit number can be expanded into hundreds, tens and ones. For example, the number 365 can be expanded into 300, 60 and 5. 365 = 300 + 60 + 5

Expanding 3-Digit Numbers Expand the 3-digit numbers below into hundreds, tens and ones. 981 = + + 237 = + + 546 = + +

Expanding 3-Digit Numbers - Answers Did you expand each number correctly? 981 = 900 + 80 + 1 237 = 200 + 30 + 7 546 = 500 + 40 + 6
