Why is Place Value important?

The math topic highlighted in our game is place value. A place value is the value of a digit determined by its position in a number, the name of a place or location of a digit in a number. We will address numbers in the ones, tens, hundreds and thousandths place.

How is this relevant to your child’s life?
Learning place value allows your child to grasp the concept of number value.
For Example:
You are walking down the street. An owner of a store near your house walks out and offers to give you 10 dollars in exchange for 1 dollar. If one does not understand the concept of place value the number form of one and ten can prove meaningless. There is a gain of nine dollars in the exchange if you are to take the offer.

New York State Math Standard:
The New York State standard for this topic that best applies to this game is found on 4.N.3
The Standard reads:
“Compare and order numbers to 10,000”
What our game requires:
Our game requires the students to be able to compare and order numbers up to the number 9,999.
