Place Values For Kids Ones Tens Hundreds Thousands

Today, we are going to learn about place values! Place values are so awesome because they help you decode numbers so you can find out how much numbers are worth! So if you're ready, let's get started with learning about place values! First, we want to teach you fun word, okay? We're gonna teach you brand new word, maybe it's brand new to you, maybe you've heard it before. But YES! You are, right now, going to learn new word! That word is digit! Yeah! Digit!

Remember, we're just looking at the parts of the number. How many digits? Yeah! Just one digit! There's only one part (or digit) to this number! It's just 6! Great job! Remember, digits are the parts of number! Okay, so this is awesome! Here is where place values come in! The place value is how much digit is worth based on where it is. In other words, where digit is in the number tells us how much it is worth! So, what are the place values we're going to be looking at today? What are the different values of the places where the digits will be? Well, the digits will either be in the ones spot, the tens spot, the hundreds spot, or the thousands spot. All right, let's use the place values! Okay, so here are the place values and where they are for the different digits. This first spot is the ones spot. That's where the ones go! This second spot is the tens spot. It's where the tens go! This third spot is the hundreds spot. It is where the hundreds go! And finally, here is the thousands spot! It is where the thousands go! Now, the place values can go higher than this, but these are the only place values we're going to be learning about today. All right, so our first example is the number 4,000. The number 4,000! All right! Well, I'm going to need your help! Which digit is in the ones spot? You can see it right there! Which digit is in the one spot? Yeah! 0! Great job! All right, how about helping us figure out the tens? Which digit is in the tens spot? Yeah! 0! Good job! All you have to do is look where the arrow is pointing! The tens spot is 0! All right, how about the hundreds spot? Which digit is in the hundreds spot? You see? Yeah! The same answer! 0! Good job! Good job! Okay, and which digit is in the thousands spot? Which digit is in the thousands spot? Yeah! 4! Awesome! The number 4 is in the thousands spot. There are four thousands in the number 4000. All right, our next example is the number 508. Okay, I'm going to need your help again! Which digit is in the ones spot? You can look at the place values for clue! You can see the arrow..... Which digit is in the ones spot? Yeah! 8! Good job! Okay, which digit is in the tens spot? Which digit is in the tens spot? Yeah! 0! Good job! All right, which digit is in the hundreds spot? Can you see that? Which number is in the hundreds spot? Yeah! 5! Good job! Okay, now this might seem little tricky. Which digit is in the thousands spot? Which digit is in the thousands spot? Wait second... there isn't even digit there! It's only 508! There are no thousands, so the digit would be nothing (or 0) 0 and nothing have in nothing have the same value. So, there's nothing that's in the thousands spot. It's only 508. There are no thousands. You are doing phenomenal job! Okay, now you're gonna be able to give it try without any help or any clues! And you've learned so much, think you can do it! think you can do it! You're gonna do awesome! Okay, you're ready! Here's the number: 8,763 8,763 We're going to name the place values and you let us know which digit is in which one. Okay? Which digit is in the ones spot? Which digit is in the ones spot? The number is 8,763. Which one? Yeah! 3! 3 is in the ones spot! Remember, this is the ones spot! Good job! Okay, what's in the tens spot? Which digit is in the tens spot? Uh-huh! 6! 6 is in the tens spot. Good job! Yeah! You can see right here where the ten spot is! Wow! You're getting the hang of it! Okay, which digit is in the hundreds spot? Do you know? Which one? Which digit is in the hundreds spot? 7! Way to go! Yes! 7 is in the hundreds spot! And you can see right here, is that hundreds spot! Yeah, 7 is in the hundreds spot! Good job! Okay, here's the last one. Which digit is in the thousands spot? Which digit is in the thousands spot? 8! Yes! Good job! 8 is in the thousands spot. You can see, right here is where that thousands spot is. Just before that comma! Isn't that awesome? Wow! You've learned so much! To review, digits are the parts of number. The place value is how much digit is worth based on where it is. These are the place values we learned today: the ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands! In this example, there are 3 ones, there are 6 tens (which is sixty), there are 7 hundreds (which is seven hundred), and there are 8 thousands. So the number written out is 8,763. It's so nice, going for stroll and just thinking about those place values! love the ones and the tens and the hundreds and the thousands! Knowing where digit is tells us what the value is! Which is great! So, we hope you learned some cool things and we hope to see you next time!
