The pattern under the table

Every place is ten times the place on its right

A place value chart is a picture of our base-ten system. Step left and the value grows ten times; step right and it shrinks to a tenth. The whole numbers sit on the left of the decimal point, the parts of one whole sit on the right, and the ones place is the hinge between them.

  • Move left: multiply by ten
  • Move right: divide by ten

A quick teaching guide

How to use a place value chart

  1. 1

    Find the decimal point

    The decimal point is the anchor. Every place to its left is a whole number, and every place to its right is a part of one whole.

  2. 2

    Place each digit

    Write one digit per column and keep the order. In 4,305,127.608 the 4 belongs in the millions place and the 6 belongs in the tenths place.

  3. 3

    Read the value

    Multiply the digit by its place to read it. A 4 in the millions place is 4,000,000, and an 8 in the thousandths place is 0.008.
