Integers, Decimals and Powers of 10 - Worksheet

The worksheet provides a comprehensive place value chart that extends from millions to three decimal places, ensuring students can identify and understand the value of digits in large numbers as well as decimal fractions. The chart is divided into columns representing millions, hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens, ones (also known as units), tenths, hundredths, and thousandths. Each column is clearly labelled to help students visually align numbers according to their place value.

With this educational tool, students are encouraged to practice placing numbers within the chart to determine the value of each digit. For example, a digit in the 'tens of thousands' column would represent ten thousand times the value of the same digit in the 'tens' column. Similarly, moving to the right of the decimal point, the value of digits decreases, with the 'tenths' being ten times smaller than the 'ones', 'hundredths' being ten times smaller than 'tenths', and 'thousandths' being ten times smaller than 'hundredths'. This visual representation aids in the understanding of the base ten number system and the concept of powers of 10, which is fundamental to working with both integers and decimals.
