1.01 Modeling place value
Lesson
Are you ready?
When we count by ones, we use the digits $0$0, $1$1, $2$2, $3$3, $4$4, $5$5, $6$6, $7$7, $8$8 and $9$9.
We also use these digits to make bigger numbers, like $10$10, $11$11, $12$12, and $13$13.
Vocabulary:
- Another word that we can use to describe the ones place is 'units'.
- You'll see in the next video we talk about icy pole sticks, these are the same as popsicle sticks.

Let's see how we can use icy pole sticks and place value blocks to work out how to write larger numbers.

Question 1
Use the least amount of blocks possible to make the number $110$110.
- No items were dropped
- No items were dropped
Learn
Let's see how each place value is tens times larger than the one to its right, using place value blocks for ones (units), tens, hundreds and thousands.

Question 2
What number is represented by these blocks?
Remember!
We can use models like these to help us work out the value of our digits.
| Thousands | Hundreds | Tens | Ones (Units) |
