PLACE VALUE

Maria Elvie E. Sienes

Place value is the value
of each digit in a
number. 
It is important that
children understand that
whilst a digit can be the
same, its value depends
on where it is in the
number. 
Children will most likely
be taught place value
through a place value
grid like this…
The Indian place value
chart is a table that is used
to find the value of each
digit in a number based on
its position, as per the
Indian numeral system.
According to the Indian
place value chart, the place
values of digits are read in
the following order: ones,
tens, hundreds, thousands,
ten thousands, lakh, ten
lakh, crore, ten crore, and
so on, based on the
nomenclature of the
different periods.
Counting by Ones
– Physical item worth a count of “ one more ”

– Each item is a unit of one.

– Items being counted compose the total.

– Number word stand for its numerical value to represent the

entire quantity.

– Example: One, Two, Three, Four…Four blocks

One to one correspondence
 Counting by
Ten” is used as a unit.
Tens and Ones

Count by tens and ones: 10, 20, 30, 40, 41, 42, 43

Tens and Ones are dealt with separately. –

Example: When I add 15 blocks with 17 blocks, I
have two tens and 12 ones
Equivalent Groupings
“Ten” is used as a unit.

Tens and ones are dealt with simultaneously

Mental flexibility permits crossing between thinking

of tens and ones

Three tens and 13 ones is also equal to 43.

 It is critical that students see the relationship between
number names such as “fifty-three” with the grouping of
tens concept. They must also see that the way we write
numbers (ones on the right, tens on the left of ones and
so on) must be coordinated with the idea of groupings.

◦ Identify the starting and ending unit.
◦ Begin at the starting unit and count “jumps” to the ending
unit. Note your direction.
◦ Move the decimal the SAME number of spaces and the
SAME direction as you moved on the chart.

Guavas weigh 500 grams while avocadoes weigh 2 kilograms.
Which are heavier, guavas o avocadoes? Why?
One kilogram is 1000 times heavier than a gram.
Example:
1/2 kilogram = 500 grams
1 kilogram = 1000 grams
2 kilograms = 2000 grams
The abbreviation for gram is “g” and the
abbreviation for kilogram is “kg”.
We used grams to weigh lighter objects while;
Kilograms is the unit of measure used to weigh
heavier objects.
