Free Place Value Easy Reader Book Printable
Learning about place value can be one of the hardest things to do. I know that my girls struggled with some of it. when my oldest was in 4th grade and it was one of the first projects they worked on.
We had done some basic place values with ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands. It was a giant leap to go beyond that. I made this simple place value easy reader book to help.
The Place Value Easy Reader Book Printable is a great addition to the place value printables on the site.
What is Place Value?
The dictionary says that place value is a digit’s numerical value by virtue of its position in a number.
That makes place value sound really complicated, but it is not. Each number digit has a value based on where it is. So, if I have the number 24. Then the 2 is in the tens place, and the 4 is in the ones place. It is super easy once you understand what each place value is.
Several terms are used in place value: standard, value, expanded, and picture.
