Exploring Decimal Place Value through the Old West

This video tutorial explains the concepts of decimal place value and value, highlighting the difference between them. It covers how digits have a value based on their position in a number and their numerical worth. The video demonstrates how to express numbers in expanded form by adding their values and in expanded notation by multiplying digits with their place values. Practical examples are provided to reinforce understanding, emphasizing the importance of recognizing place value in mathematical expressions.
