How to play the Place Value Game

1. Look for the Underlined Digit
   A large number will appear in the center. One digit will be orange and underlined. This is your target.
   Example: In \(4\underline{7}\),210, the 7 is your target.
   

2. Count from the Right
   To find the place value, always start at the very last digit on the right and move left:
   Ones: The first digit on the right.
   Tens: The second digit.
   Hundreds: The third digit.
   Thousands: The fourth digit (just past the first comma).
   Ten Thousands: The fifth digit.
   Hundred Thousands: The sixth digit.
   

3. Select the Correct Place Value
   Click one of the four buttons at the bottom that matches the position of the underlined digit.
   If you are right: The button turns green, you’ll hear a happy chime, and you can move to the next number.
   If you are wrong: The button turns red, and you can try again.
