Explain how place value is helpful to 4th grade students
What is place value can tell you which number to add to another in an addition problem, which number to divide into in long division, and which number to subtract from when you are doing a subtraction problem. It also helps you know which digit to multiply by which digit when you are multiplying. Place value also helps you compare two numbers. You know that if one number is bigger in the hundreds place, for example, it is the larger number, even if its number in the tens place is smaller than the other value.

One 4th grade student said that the 6 in 987, 460 meant that there were 600 ones. Is she correct?
What is no! The 6 appears right next to the 0. The 0 is in the ones place and it shows that there are 0 ones in this problem. Then, the 6 is in the tens place, which comes next, and it shows that there are 6 tens. 6 tens is the same as 60 ones, so she could say that there are 60 ones, not 600.

984, 510 is less than 984, 501. True or false?
What is false. It is greater. To compare, you have to line them up. Then, you look from left to right.

The first has 1 in the tens place and the other has 0 in the tens place. The one that has one group of ten is larger than the number that has 0 groups of ten.
