Place Value Charts

A place value chart is a visual tool that shows how each digit in a number has a specific value depending on its position. For instance, in the number 3,427, the '3' is in the thousands place, meaning three thousand; the '4' in the hundreds place, four hundred; the '2' in the tens place, twenty; and the '7' in the ones place, seven. This chart helps understand how each digit contributes to the total number, making it easier to read, compare, and perform operations like addition or subtraction by clearly identifying the value of each digit based on its position.
