Activity: to recognise the place values of digits [lo. 1.4.1]

1. If we know what the place value of a digit is, it is child’s play to determine the value of that digit. Look at the following numbers. Write down the values of the digits in bold print:

e.g. : 456 9 8 1 80

1.1 3 2 16 417

1.2 5 641 218

1.3 4 1 8 6 046

1.4 2 3 521 000

Did you know?

If you started to count in seconds, it would take you almost 12 days to count to a million!

Assessment

Assessment Standard 1.4: We know this when the learner recognises the place value of digits in:

1.4.1: whole numbers to at least 9-digit numbers
