Welcome, Math Detective! Your mission is to solve the mysteries of numbers. Remember these two key clues:

  • Place Value is the position a digit holds in a number (e.g., the tens place, the hundred thousands place, the tenths place).
  • Digit Value is how much a digit is worth because of its position (e.g., in the number 280, the digit 2 has a value of 200).

Use these clues to crack the codes below!

  2. 27,054,691 → _________________________
  3. 984,345 → _________________________
  4. 6,170.35 → _________________________
  5. 430,991,542 → _________________________
  6. 12.07 → _________________________

Part 2: What's My Value?

For each number below, write the value of the underlined digit.

  1. 6,721,800 → _________________________
  2. 10,594 → _________________________
  3. 8,123,456 → _________________________
  4. 45,032.1 → _________________________
  5. 3,050,211 → _________________________
  6. 91.46 → _________________________

Part 3: Number Builder

Use the clues to build the correct number on the line.

    _________________________

  3. I am a number with a 9 in the ten thousands place, a 2 in the hundreds place, and a 1 in the tenths place. All other digits are 0. What number am I?
    _________________________

Part 4: Value Challenge

Think carefully to solve these problems!

  1. In the number 9,999, how many times greater is the value of the underlined 9 than the value of the 9 in the ones place?
    _________________________

  2. What is the difference between the value of the digit 5 in 5,400,000 and the value of the digit 4 in the same number?
