Place Value Answer Key

🎯 WALT: We Are Learning To identify place value in numbers up to 1,000,000

Success Criteria:

✓ I can identify the value of digits in different positions
✓ I can compare and order large numbers
✓ I can round numbers to the nearest 10, 100, and 1,000

📝 Answer Key - Place Value Questions

1. What is the value of the digit 7 in 472,856?

Answer: 70,000 (seventy thousand)

Step-by-step: The 7 is in the ten thousands column, so 7 × 10,000 = 70,000

2. Round 38,749 to the nearest thousand:

Answer: 39,000

Step-by-step: Look at the hundreds digit (7). Since 7 ≥ 5, round up to 39,000

3. Which number is larger: 245,678 or 245,768?

Answer: 245,768

Step-by-step: Compare digit by digit from left to right. The hundreds place: 6 < 7, so 245,768 is larger

4. Write 506,039 in words:

Answer: Five hundred and six thousand and thirty-nine

Dyslexia-friendly: 500,000 + 6,000 + 30 + 9

🔢 Advanced Place Value Challenges

5. What number is 10,000 more than 394,567?

Answer: 404,567

Step-by-step: Add 1 to the ten thousands digit: 3 + 1 = 4, so 404,567

6. Order these numbers from smallest to largest: 89,456 | 89,546 | 89,465

Answer: 89,456, 89,465, 89,546

Step-by-step: Compare hundreds: all have 4. Compare tens: 5, 6, 4

Ordering: 89,456 (4 tens), 89,465 (6 tens), 89,546 (4 tens but 6 hundreds)

7. Round 567,832 to the nearest hundred:

Answer: 567,800

Step-by-step: Look at tens digit (3). Since 3 < 5, round down to 567,800

8. What is the difference between the values of the two 5s in 525,341?

Answer: 475,000

Working: First 5 = 500,000 (hundred thousands)

Second 5 = 25,000 (thousands). Difference: 500,000 - 25,000 = 475,000

🌟 Differentiation & Extension Support

For Struggling Learners:

• Use place value charts or grids for visual support

• Break numbers into expanded form (e.g., 45,678 = 40,000 + 5,000 + 600 + 70 + 8)

• Provide number lines for rounding support

Extension Activities for Advanced Learners:

• Create your own 7-digit numbers and challenge a partner

• Investigate negative numbers and decimal place value

• Research how place value works in other number bases (binary, base 5)

• Design a place value game using playing cards

Dyslexia-Friendly Strategies:

• Use coloured overlays or different coloured pens for each place value column

• Break large numbers into chunks of three digits

• Provide audio recordings of number names for reference
