Place Value<br />
Each digit has a certain place value and face value.<br />
• In 5746, the digit 5 is in the thousands place.<br />
• The face value tells us how many ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, etc.<br />
there are.<br />
• Let’s take 5746 for example.<br />
o The face value of the first digit is 5 and its place value is thousands.<br />
o The face value of the second digit is 7 and its place value is<br />
hundreds.<br />
o The face value of the third digit is 4 and its place value is tens.<br />
o The face value of the last digit is 6 and its place value is ones.<br />
Remember: when you write a numeral in words, hyphens are used between the<br />
tens and ones, so 41 is forty-one.<br />
Let’s read the numeral 1527468 and write it in words.<br />
1. Start from the right and mark off groups of three digits. 1/527/468<br />
2. Place commas between each group. 1,527,468<br />
3. Read each group of digits and the name of each group. Start from the left.<br />
4. 1,527,468 reads one million, five hundred and twenty-seven thousand, four<br />
hundred and sixty-eight.<br />
