A place value chart is a visual tool used to understand the value of each digit in a number based on its position. It organizes digits into columns, each representing a specific power of ten. This system is fundamental to how we read, write, and understand numbers in the base-10 (decimal) system.
The decimal point separates the whole number part from the fractional part. The whole number part is to the left of the decimal point. The fractional part is to the right of the decimal point.
Each digit in a whole number has a place value, based on its position from the right, as seen in the following place value chart. Scroll down the page for more examples and solutions.
Ten and Ones (eg. 17 = __ ten and __ ones)
Count Tens & Ones (with pictures)
Count Tens & Ones (with place value charts)
Tens and Ones (eg. 73 = __ tens and __ ones)
Add Tens & Ones (with pictures)
Add Tens & Ones (eg. 60 + 4 = )
1 more, 1 less, 10 more, 10 less
Hundreds, Tens, Ones (eg. 536 = 500 + 30 + 6)

How to Use the Chart:
The value of a digit in the number is the digit multiplied by the place value.
The following table shows examples to distinguish between the place value of a digit and the value of a digit.
For decimals, the place value chart will include the decimal point and the positions after the decimal point. Digits to the right of the decimal point represent fractions (from left to right):as illustrated in the following table.
Remember that the place value after the decimal point is tenths.
