In the place value chart you show every digit of a number at its place value.
Example: 6873 has 6 thousands, 8 hundreds, 7 tens and 3 ones.
So in the chart T=6, H=8, T=7 and O=3.
You can also work the other way round and put the number together from the place values!
The numbers written in show the answer.
Example
| T | H | Z | E |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 8 | 7 | 3 |
= 6873
| T | H | Z | E |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 8 | 2 | 5 |
= 3825

Split big numbers like a house number or a postcode together into thousands, hundreds, tens and ones.
