What is place value?
Place value is the idea that a digit's value depends on its position, the 3 in 30 is worth thirty, the 3 in 300 is worth three hundred.
How to teach it
Build numbers with base-ten blocks or bundles of ten, then say the value of each digit ('the 3 is worth 30'). Expand numbers (300 + 40 + 2).
Worked example
Common mistake
Reading a digit at face value regardless of its column, and dropping the zero as a place-holder (e.g. writing 32 for 302).
