Place Value Lesson Plan
Numbers are made up of digits in the same way that words are made up of letters. Digits can be any number from 0 to 9.
Place Value is the value given to the place a digit has in a number.
The number 432 (four hundred thirty-two) is made up of the digits 4,3, and 2. Each digit has a special value which depends on its place in the number.
These words are called place value headings.
