Place value tables

What we're going to do in this video is think a little bit about place value tables, and sometimes they're referred to as place value charts. In previous videos, we've already talked about the idea of place value, and a place value table or place value chart is just a way to say how much we have, how much value we have in each place in a very, very clear way.

So here they say, use the place value chart to write 60,229. And this is the place value table or place value chart right over here. They say, "Play enter a digit, one digit number in each box of the place value chart." So really, all they're saying is how many ten thousands do we have, how many thousands, how many hundreds, how many tens, and how many ones?

And like always, it's always a good idea to try to have a go at it before I do it with you. So why don't you do that? Why don't you pause the video and on a little piece of scratch paper say how many ten thousands are in sixty thousand two hundred twenty-nine? How many thousands are there? How many hundreds? How many tens? And how many ones?

All right, now let's do this together. So we could start at the left in the ten thousands place. This is the ones place, this is the tens place. Let me do a little bit neater. So this is ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands.

So we can see that we have six ten thousands, so all we would do is say we'd put a six there. We have six ten thousands. And then how many thousands? Well, that would be one place over to the right.

This is interesting; we can see very clearly we actually have zero thousands. So, zero thousands. You might say, "Hey, when you say this out, you say sixty thousand two hundred twenty-nine, don't we have sixty thousands?"

Well, you already accounted for that in the sixth ten thousands. Six ten thousands is sixty thousand, but just in the thousands place, you have none. And then we move on to the hundreds place. You can see very clearly we have two hundreds.

And then we can go to the tens place, and I’m written over a little bit, but we have two tens. And then last but not least, we have nine ones, and we're done.

So the whole point of this video is to just get you comfortable with this type of format, with a place value table or a place value chart. And all it is, is a way of really clearly writing out how much value you have in each place in a number like this.
