How to play the Value of Digits Worksheet/Game
-
Observe the Underline
A large two-digit number will appear in the center. Look closely at the red underline:
If the left digit is underlined, you are looking at the Tens Place.
If the right digit is underlined, you are looking at the Ones Place. -
Calculate the Value
You aren’t just identifying the number; you are identifying its value.
Tens Place Underlined: Multiply the digit by 10. (Example: If the number is 82 and the 8 is underlined, it is worth 80).
Ones Place Underlined: The digit is worth exactly what it says. (Example: If the number is 82 and the 2 is underlined, it is worth 2). -
Enter and Submit
Type the value into the input box and click Submit (or press Enter).
Correct: You’ll hear a cheerful chime, and the feedback will confirm the value.
Incorrect: The card will shake and play a low tone. This is your cue to think: “Is this digit in the tens place or the ones place?"
“Value” vs.“Digit”
A common point of confusion is the difference between the digit and its value.
The Question: “What digit is in the tens place?” (Answer: 4)
The Value: “What is the value of that digit?” (Answer: 40)
Tips for Learning Value
Expansion: Practice “expanding” the number. For 52, explain that it is 50 + 2. This makes it much easier to see why the 5 is worth 50.
The “Expansion” Cheat Sheet
If you get stuck, try saying the number out loud slowly. The way we say numbers often gives us the answer.
| If you see… | You say… | The Tens Value is… | The Ones Value is… |
|---|---|---|---|
| 34 | “Thirty-four” | 30 | 4 |
| 57 | “Fifty-seven” | 50 | 7 |
| 91 | “Ninety-one” | 90 | 1 |
