What students practise
I can tell the value of each digit in a number.

Key words
- digit
- one of the symbols zero through nine
- place value
- the value of a digit from where it is in the number
- expanded form
- a number written as the sum of its place values
Common mistakes

- Leaves out a zero in a place with no value.
