3rd Grade Place Value Puzzles Online - Place values are what helps the reader, or the learner of numbers to know how much the amount of a number is. For example, we have the ones, tens, hundreds, and even thousands place value. Numbers with one-digit are numbers that are considered as ones, it's basically because numbers with ones place value contain only one number. While, the number 10 has two digits, therefore numbers that have the place value of tens are also two-digit numbers. The same goes with the place value hundreds, the number 100 has three digits so technically, numbers with three digits or the number on the third place of a number is in hundreds. It goes on and on until thousands place value which are numbers with four digits. Let's have an example, 1678 starting from right to left, the very first number will have the value of ones. The next number is 7 which basically means that the number has the place value of tens. This number is just basically 7 times ten. The next number, on the third column, is 6 and has a place value of hundreds, just like the number 7 before, it is also times to 100 to make it 600. The same thing applies to 1 which is in the thousands place value.
