Max Maths, Year 3, Practice, Place Value

In the Max Maths Year 3 practice on place value, students are encouraged to understand the significance of each digit in a number based on its position. For example, in the number 729, the digit 7 is situated in the hundreds place, which signifies seven hundred. The digit 2 occupies the tens place, representing twenty, as each unit in the tens place is worth ten times the value of a unit in the ones place. Lastly, the digit 9 is in the ones place, indicating nine units.

Similarly, for the number 105, the digit 1 is in the hundreds place, indicating one hundred. The digit 0 is in the tens place, which in this case contributes nothing to the overall value of the number, as zero tens are equivalent to zero. The digit 5 is located in the ones place, which stands for five units. The exercise continues with numbers 481 and 536, where students must identify that the digits 4 and 5 represent four hundred and five hundred respectively, while the digits 8 and 3 correspond to eighty and thirty, and the digits 1 and 6 represent one and six units, all based on their positions within the numbers. The practice encourages students to reinforce their understanding of place value by filling in the blanks with the appropriate values that each digit represents.
