Place value, value of and stickies

Place value and the value of a number are two different things.

Place -value: ten-thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens, ones
The place a numeral is in a number.

Value (of the number): 3,524 The 3 is in thousands place, therefore its value is 3,000. The 5 is 500, the 2 is 20, and the 4 ones is 4.

Write a single number on a given number of sticky notes. Sticky notes are fun and easy to rearrange. Give your child a number to create by putting the sticky notes in the correct order.

As numbers are made, review the place-value vocabulary. Using the correct math terminology is always important.

Children can also put the sticky notes in order of the values you give them, thus creating a number.

Terms: 1,234 is a number. 1,2,3,4 are each a numeral or a digit.
