Overview

In this chapter, we learn about two important ideas in numbers: Place Value and Face Value. These help us understand what each digit in a number means. For example, in the number 23, the '2' is not just 2, it means 20 because it is in the tens place! This helps us read and write numbers correctly.

Key Concepts

Place value tells us the value

Place value tells us the value of a digit based on its position in a number. In a two-digit number, the right digit is in the 'Ones' place and the lef

Face value is simply the digit

Face value is simply the digit itself, no matter where it is in the number. For example, in 45, the face value of 4 is 4 and of 5 is 5.

Expanded form means breaking a number

Expanded form means breaking a number into its tens and ones. For example, 36 = 30 + 6. This shows 3 tens and 6 ones.

Compact form is when we write

Compact form is when we write the number normally. For example, 50 + 3 becomes 53. It is the opposite of expanded form.
