 * Everything we know about place value - by Hayden**

Place value means: Place means where it’s put and value means what it’s worth. What place value is like: It is a number house with ones, tens, hundreds, thousands and millions. For example: You will have a number like three trillion, four milllion, two thousand, one hundred and twenty two. In the first one you put two, the second one you put in two, the third you put one in, the fourth you put two in, the fifth you put three. That’s how place value works. You usually go in writing from your left to your right but in maths you go from your right to your left. Every time you add a zero to your number you’re timesing it by 10.||

This is what I learnt about place value. I learnt that only 9 dollars and under can go in the ones, but when you get up to 10 you have to put all of that in the tens. There will be 0 dollars in the ones. So say if you wanted the number 3,642 you’d put the 3 in the thousands, the 6 in the hundreds, the 4 in the tens and the 2 in the ones. When you get up to 100 dollars you have to put all of the money in the hundreds and it keeps on going.||

There are 10 different symbols of numbers. Here is an example: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Place value: place means where it is - if you get it wrong you will end up with the wrong number. Value means what it’s worth. You can put it in different columns for different numbers.||

I know it is easier to do a place value house with ones, tens, hundreds and thousands. You can use it with money because money is the thing people most use. I know that it is important to know place value. You can make lots of mistakes if you don’t know it when you are a year 5 or 6 and over. People who don’t know it when they are a year 5 or 6 and over get sent to a class that is learning it. Place means where it is, value means what it’s worth.||
