2nd Grade Place Value

The value of a digit in a given number depends on its place or position in the number. This value is called its place value.

Let us consider numbers 5 and 38.

     T      O

             5       →  1-digit number

     3      8       →  2-digit number


In number 5, the digit 5 is at ones place. So, its place value is 5.

In number 38,

⇨ the digit 8 is at ones place. So, its place value is 8, and

⇨ the digit 3 is at tens place. So, its place value is 30.

Let us take some more examples.

2nd Grade Place Value
Place Value on Abacus


Let us look at the abacus given at right side.


Tens spike has 5 beads which show 5 tens and ones spike has 3 beads which show 3 ones. 5 tens mean 50 and 3 ones mean 3.

Thus, 5 tens and 3 ones = 50 + 3 = 53.

Place Value on Spike Abacus



Now, look at the another abacus shown at left side. 3 beads in tens spike show 3 tens or 30 and 5 beads in ones spike show 5 ones or 5.


Thus, 3 tens and 5 ones = 30 + 5 = 35


The place value of 5 in 53 is 50 and the place value of 3 in 53 is 3.

The place value of 3 in 35 is 30 and the place value of 5 in 35 is 5.

From the above discussion, we find that in the number 53, the value of 5 is greater than the value of 3 (50 > 3) and in the number 35, the value of 5 is lesser than the value of 3 (5 < 30).

This is because of its place value.

Thus, the place value of a digit is the value of the digit because of its place in a number.


Remember

The place value of zero (0) is always zero (0).


For Example: Write the place value of the following:

(i) 5 in 75 

(ii) 8 in 89

(iii) 4 in 47

(iv) 0 in 60


Solution:

(i) The place value of 5 in 75 is 5

(ii) The place value of 8 in 89 is 80

(iii) The place value of 4 in 47 is 40

(iv) The place value of 0 in 60 is 0


Place Value and Face Value of 3-Digit Numbers:

Place value is the value of a digit depending upon its place or position in the number.

Consider the number 679.

Place Value and Face Value of 3-Digit Numbers

The place value of 6 in 679 is 600 and its face value is 6.

The place value of 7 in 679 is 70 and its face value is 7.

The place value of 9 in 679 is 9 and its face value is 9.


Examples on Place Value and Face Value of 3-Digit Numbers:

1. Write the place value of each digit of the given three digit numbers:

(i) 851

(ii) 706

(iii) 875

(i) Place value of 8 = 800

Place value of 5 = 50

Place value of 1 = 1


(ii) Place value of 7 = 700

Place value of 0 = 0

Place value of 6 = 6


(iii) Place value of 8 = 800

Place value of 7 = 70

Place value of 5 = 5
