What is Place Value?

The place value of a number refers to the value of a digit based on its position. In other words, place value refers to the value of each digit in a number. For example, the number 1,073 has four "places," each with a specific value.
Understanding place value is an extremely important math concept for students to master. It is taught as early as kindergarten, and the concept continues to be relevant throughout the middle grades as students learn about larger numbers. Place value can be a hard concept to grasp because the value of a number is different depending on where it resides.

Why is Place Value Important?

Keeping track of larger and larger numbers would be virtually impossible without the concept of place value. It is vitally important to all later mathematics because a thorough understanding of place value is a requirement for learning operations with greater numbers. Place value is also the foundation for rounding numbers and for regrouping in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Once a student understands place value, they should be able to round numbers to a specific place, such as the nearest ten. To round 486 to the nearest ten, a student must know to look at the number in the ones column (in this case, six). Usually, if children are struggling with rounding large numbers, it can be helpful to review place value to make sure it is fully understood.
