The digits in a number occupy certain positions, or place values. There are place values for the ones, tens, and hundreds positions.

1 one corresponds to 1 object.

Example

1 hundred is equal to 1 group of 100 ones or 10 groups of tens.

In a number, you must look at the place value of each digit to find its value.
