Place Value

What is the 7 worth in 4,732? Not seven — seven hundred. Where a digit sits decides what it means, and that idea sits underneath carrying, exchanging, decimals and everything after.

Set your country and age — change

Setting an age keeps the questions at the right level for that age. It does not lock anything — you can still try any topic, at any age, in any order. Levels are a guide only, not a curriculum.

Your age is not saved anywhere. Your country is remembered only if you have switched saving on.

How big are the numbers?

This is a starting point — the questions adjust as you go, and you can change it any time.

Saving your progress

Nothing is being saved. You can practise as much as you like — when you close the tab, the session is gone.

Getting the most from it

  • The digit and its value are different things. You can see a 7; what it is worth depends entirely on which column it is standing in.
  • Name the column before you answer. Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands. Once you know which one, the value follows.
  • This is why carrying works. Ten ones becoming one ten is a place-value move, not a rule to memorise. Getting this solid makes written methods make sense.

School levels

School levels are a guide only. They show where a skill is usually taught in each country and are not taken from, aligned to, or endorsed by any curriculum authority. Your school may cover it earlier or later.
