A digit’s value depends on its position. In 352 there are 3 hundreds, 5 tens and 2 ones: 300 + 50 + 2.
A digit’s value depends on its position. In 352 there are 3 hundreds, 5 tens and 2 ones: 300 + 50 + 2. Represent each part separately and compare with 325 to see what changes when 2 and 5 move.
Zero holds a place: 305 contains three hundreds, no tens and five ones. When using a place-value chart, align digits by value and read the complete number afterward.
Work through one example aloud before independent practice. To check 18 + 7 = 25, calculate 25 − 7. If a word problem asks about meters or coins, include that unit and check whether the answer fits the situation.
