I have found that a large number of students have a misconception involving the values of digits in a particular place. I think this is due to the name of the concept, "place value." If students are asked to locate a place or a digit in a place they do well. When asked to give the value of the digit in a place, they often are confused as to what they are supposed to do. The following anchor chart was shared in class and really seemed to help them quite a bit. Since that discussion students have practiced the skill on Prodigy, completed a group discussion activity, and have been assessed on the skill.
