Grade 1 Place Value: Expanded Form

Write numbers in expanded form

What You'll Learn

Expanded form shows the value of each digit. 67 = 60 + 7. The 6 in the tens place is worth 60, and the 7 in the ones place is worth 7.

💡

Add a zero to the tens digit to get its value! 8 tens = 80, so 83 = 80 + 3.
