Place Value

When a number is written out in digits, each number has a different value depending on what position it is in.

Hundreds

Hundreds

  • The number 1 stands for 100 since it is in the hundreds place.
Tens of thousands

Tens of thousands

  • The number 4 stands for 40,000 since it is in the tens of thousands place.
Hundreds of thousands

Hundreds of thousands

  • The number 3 stands for 300,000 since it is in the hundreds of thousands place.

Negative Numbers

Negative numbers are shown with a minus sign in front (e.g. −4). Negative numbers are smaller than positive numbers.

Number line

Number line

  • The number line above shows the first 3 negative and positive numbers.
  • The positive numbers are all larger than the negative numbers.
  • 0 is called the origin and is not negative or positive.
