Place Value Chart

A place value chart is a table that displays the correct place of a digit in a number. Place value charts are useful for ensuring that digits are aligned correctly. For example, consider a decimal number. Decimal Number 673.452 The digits in this decimal number can be written in the place value chart to check their position. The aim here is to identify the positional values of different digits in the number accurately. It can be easier to start by writing the digits around the decimal point.
