This document is about place value and includes definitions of place value terminology like digits, periods, standard form, expanded form, and word form. It explains that numbers are divided into periods separated by commas, with each period made up of place values like thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones. Several examples are provided to demonstrate identifying the place value of underlined digits in numbers written in standard form. The document also gives practice identifying specific digits in certain place value positions and calculating the value of underlined digits.
