Place Values in Whole Numbers Worksheets for 6th Grade

Do you want to learn how to find place values in whole numbers? It's easy and fun with these place values in whole numbers worksheets for 6th Grade!

Place values are the positions of the digits in a number. They tell us how much each digit is worth.

For example, in the number 123, the 1 is in the hundreds place, the 2 is in the tens place, and the 3 is in the ones place.

The value of each digit is determined by multiplying it by the base (10) raised to the power of its place.

For example, the value of 4 in 4,123 is 4 x 103 = 4000, the value of 1 is 1 x 102 = 100, the value of 2 is 2 x 101 = 20, and the value of 3 is 3 x 100 = 3. The sum of these values is the whole number: 4000 + 100 + 20 + 3 = 4,123.

You can use this method to find place values in any whole number.
