Place value of each digit
Recognise the place value of each digit in a four-digit number (thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones)
Suggested ages 8–9
Learning journey
Your child is working with larger numbers up to 10,000 — understanding place value in four-digit numbers, learning to round numbers, and exploring negative numbers and Roman numerals.
Evidence of understanding
- State the value of each digit in a four-digit number (e.g. in 7,345 the 7 represents 7 thousands)
- Partition a four-digit number into thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones
- Compose a four-digit number from given place-value parts (e.g. 3000 + 400 + 50 + 2 = 3,452)
Assessment prompt
If Place value of each digit sees the number 5,347, can they tell you the value of each digit — that the 5 means 5,000, the 3 means 300, the 4 means 40, and the 7 means 7?
