Put large numbers in their places with this math game! Use Crayola® Color Switchers™ Markers to colorfully label ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands—or higher.
1.
We use numbers all the time, such as when we look for a house or work out how much we can buy. Numbers are made of digits, much like words are made with letters. Each digit has a value depending on its place in the number. For example, in the number 5,432 there are 5 thousands, 4 hundreds, 3 tens, and 2 ones (or units).
