Find the digits

Every digit of a number has a fixed place, its place value.
In 347 the 3 is the hundreds, the 4 is the tens, and the 7 is the ones.

Example: Find all numbers with 6 ones.
You look for all numbers whose last digit is a 6, for example 126 or 416.

Circle all the matching numbers.
The circled numbers show the answer.

Example

Find all numbers with 6 ones

For parents

What does this exercise practice?

Distinguish digits by their place value and search numbers for a specific place.

Common pitfalls

Children mix up digit and place value: in 474 the 4 is once the hundreds and once the ones. Always ask at which place the digit stands.

How to practice at home

Look at house numbers or prices: where is there a 5? Is it the ones, the tens, or the hundreds?
