Place Value

Thousands, Ten Thousands, and Hundred Thousands

Lets Review the place value positions you should already be familiar with: Ones, Tens, and Hundreds.

We would need 10 hundred slabs to equal 1 Thousands cube

10 hundreds = 1 Thousands

We use a comma to separate groups of 3 numbers!

Now, lets take a look at the next three place value positions. First we have the Thousands position.

Next is the TEN THOUSANDS position.

Again we go in groups of 10…

10 thousands = 1 Ten Thousands

Finally, there is the HUNDRED THOUSANDS position.

Again we go in increments of 10…

10 ten thousands = 1 Hundred Thousands

How many thousands would it take to equal 100,000?

_________ thousands = 1 Hundred Thousands
