Place Value Mastery Worksheet

A lost number code is hidden in a set of NZ community-project clues. Use place value to decode it, compare project totals and check each answer. Numbers are whole numbers up to 1,000,000.

Decode the project records

Read each number carefully. Remember: each place to the left is worth 10 times as much.

1.A coastal clean-up recorded 482,736 pieces of rubbish collected over several years. What is the value of the digit 8 in 482,736?

2.Write 482,736 in expanded form, showing the value of every non-zero digit.

3.A planting group recorded 306,405 native seedlings. Write this number in words.

4.In 306,405, which place is the digit 6 in, and what is its value?

5.The digit 4 in 482,736 is moved one place to the right. What is its new value? Explain the change.

Compare and crack the code

Use place value, not just the number of digits, to justify your decisions.

6.Which project total is greater: 482,736 or 486,273? Choose the greater number and explain the first place where the numbers differ.

7.Put these community-project totals in order from smallest to largest: 92,608; 206,850; 260,805; 620,508.

8.A number is between 350,000 and 360,000. Its ten-thousands digit is 5, its thousands digit is 7, its hundreds digit is 2, its tens digit is 0 and its ones digit is 9. What is the number?

9.Select every correct statement about 620,508.

The 6 has a value of 600,000.
The 2 has a value of 20,000.
The 5 is in the hundreds place.
The 8 is in the ones place.

10.True or false: In 504,090, the zero in the thousands place means there are no thousands, but the number still contains 4 thousands. Explain your answer.

11.A volunteer says, “In 271,846, the digit 7 is worth 7,000.” Correct the statement and explain how you know.

12.Create a six-digit project total that is greater than 482,736 but less than 486,273. Write your number and explain one place-value comparison that proves it fits.
