Max Maths, Year 3, Practice, Place value

In the Max Maths Year 3 practice activity, students are encouraged to understand place value by identifying the value of each digit in various numbers. This foundational concept in mathematics is crucial for young learners to grasp as they progress in their mathematical journey.

For example, in the number 729, the digit 7 is located in the Hundreds place, which represents 700. This is because the value of a digit is determined by its position; in this case, 7 hundreds make 700. Similarly, the digit 2 is in the Tens place, representing 20, as it is 2 tens. Lastly, the digit 9 is in the Ones place, simply representing 9. This pattern continues with other numbers, such as 105, where the digit 1 in the Hundreds place represents 100, the digit 0 in the Tens place represents 0, and the digit 5 in the Ones place represents 5. The exercise is designed to help students fill in the blanks with the correct values for each position and solidify their understanding of how numbers are constructed in the decimal system.
