Place value is one of the most important early math skills. It helps students understand how numbers are built and why digits have different values.

Understanding Place Value: Building Numbers from Tens and Ones (Lesson)

When you look at a two‑digit number, the first digit tells you how many tens there are, and the second digit tells you how many ones there are. You can use this to write the number as a sum of its tens and ones.

Example: Write 47 in expanded form.

The 4 represents 4 tens, which is 40

The 7 represents 7 ones, which is 7

We can express 47 as a sum: 47 = 40 + 7.
