Students might notice in this visual:
- The words thousand and thousandths look similar but mean very different values.
- The words hundred and hundredths also look similar but represent different types of numbers.
- The digits in the number are color-coded to match their corresponding place value labels.
- Each digit is positioned directly above a labeled place value.
- The digits show how numbers get smaller as you move to the right of the decimal point.

Example student responses
To the observational question, What is place value?
LOW-LEVEL
Place value tells you how much a number is worth depending on where it is.
HIGH-LEVEL
Place value is the value of a digit based on where it is in a number. Like, the 6 is in the hundreds place so it’s worth 600.
