Every digit of a number has a fixed place, its place value.
In 347 the 3 is the hundreds, the 4 is the tens, and the 7 is the ones.
Example: Find all numbers with 4 ones.
You look for all numbers whose last digit is a 4, for example 124 or 534.
Circle all the matching numbers.
The circled numbers show the answer.
Example
- 124,234,534
For parents
What does this exercise practice?
Distinguish digits by their place value and search numbers for a specific place.
Common pitfalls
Children mix up digit and place value: in 474 the 4 is once the hundreds and once the ones. Always ask at which place the digit stands.
How to practice at home
Look at house numbers or prices: where is there a 5? Is it the ones, the tens, or the hundreds?
