This place value chart runs from the ones place to hundred millions, grouped into the ones, thousands and millions periods. Under each place name is its value (1, 10, 100, 1,000 …), which shows the key idea: each place is worth ten times the place to its right. The first row shows 4,086,251 as a model, and the empty rows are for your child to write their own numbers.
Writing a number in the chart one digit per column helps kids read big numbers correctly. They read each period as a three-digit number and then say its name: "four million, eighty-six thousand, two hundred fifty-one." In the Common Core standards, 4th graders read, write and compare multi-digit whole numbers up to 1,000,000 (4.NBT.A). Change the example, add decimals, or extend the chart to billions.
Tips for using it
- Point out the zero in 4,086,251. It holds the hundred thousands place, and without it the number changes.
- Read each period aloud and pause at the commas, which match the bold lines on the chart.

Questions
What is a period in place value?
A group of three places: ones, tens and hundreds. The ones period, thousands period and millions period each repeat that pattern, and commas separate them in written numbers.
How do you use a place value chart?
Write the number with its last whole-number digit in the ones column and one digit in each column to the left. Then read each period's three digits followed by the period name.
