Number & Place Value
Definition
Numbers up to ten million are read in groups of three digits, working from the millions down to the ones. Commas mark each group to make the number easier to read.
Why Do I Have to Learn This?
Place value is how we read and write every number there is. Once you know what each digit is worth, big numbers stop being scary.
Key Rules:
- 1. Split the number into groups of three digits from the right.
- 2. Read the millions, then the thousands, then the rest.
- 3. Compare numbers by their highest place value first.
Remember:
- •Each comma separates a group of three digits.
- •A zero holds a place so the other digits keep their value.
- •The leftmost digit has the greatest value.
