Try a sample
What is the value of the digit 5 in 157?
- 51
- 60
- 49
- 50
See the answer & why
50
The 5 is in the tens place, so it represents 50.
A little hint: Find the named digit's place. A digit in the hundreds place is worth that many hundreds.
A teaching tip
Build or sketch hundreds, tens and ones. Ask for the value represented by a digit, not just its name.
