Place Value

As we work towards finding place value of decimal numbers, we first need to reaffirm our place value knowledge.
It is important to see place value for exactly what it is.

Place value = Where the number is.

Face value = What the number looks like.

Total Value = What the number is worth.

So in the number 583 340
                              --
I have underlined the 8.

The place value is: Tens of Thousands
The face value is:  8
The total value is: 80 000
