Number sense

What you’ll practice

Find the value of a digit in a named place in a whole number.

The same digit can mean 4, 40 or 400, depending on where it sits. Read the named place, then write the value of the digit in that position.

How this skill works

Each position to the left is worth ten times the position to its right. A 4 in the hundreds place therefore contributes 400, while a 4 in the ones place contributes 4.

Read the named position before multiplying the digit by its place value. A zero contributes zero even when it holds an important position.

Worked example

What is the value of the digit 7 in the hundreds place of 4,732?
  1. The hundreds place is the third position from the right.
  2. Its digit is 7, so its value is 7 × 100 = 700.

Answer: 700

Teaching notes

  • Say the place name before calculating the value.
  • Keep zero positions when writing the original number.

Answers and steps
  1. 60
    1. The tens place represents groups of 10. So 6 × 10 = 60.
  2. 500
    1. The hundreds place represents groups of 100. So 5 × 100 = 500.
  3. 4
    1. The ones place represents groups of 1. So 4 × 1 = 4.
  4. 60
    1. The tens place represents groups of 10. So 6 × 10 = 60.
  5. 10
    1. The tens place represents groups of 10. So 1 × 10 = 10.
  6. 5000
    1. The thousands place represents groups of 1000. So 5 × 1000 = 5000.
  7. 5000
    1. The thousands place represents groups of 1000. So 5 × 1000 = 5000.
  8. 7
    1. The ones place represents groups of 1. So 7 × 1 = 7.
  9. 9
    1. The ones place represents groups of 1. So 9 × 1 = 9.
  10. 1
    1. The ones place represents groups of 1. So 1 × 1 = 1.
  11. 8
    1. The ones place represents groups of 1. So 8 × 1 = 8.
  12. 0
    1. The hundreds place represents groups of 100. So 0 × 100 = 0.
