المليار (10 أرقام)1. Understanding Periods and Big Numbers
In large numbers, each group of three digits separated by a comma is called a PERIOD. Each period consists of: Hundreds (H), Tens (T), and Ones (O).
| PERIOD: MILLIARDS | PERIOD: MILLIONS | PERIOD: THOUSANDS | PERIOD: ONES | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ones | Hundreds | Tens | Ones | Hundreds | Tens | Ones | Hundreds | Tens | Ones |
| 3 | 2 | 5 | 8 | 4 | 9 | 1 | 6 | 7 | 0 |
📖 How do we read this number?

2. "Place Value" vs. "Value of a Digit"
Many students confuse these two important concepts. Let's make the difference crystal clear:
The NAME of the position
Place Value is written in WORDS. It tells us what room or position the digit lives in.
• Ones, Tens, Hundreds
• Thousands, Ten Thousands, Hundred Thousands
• Millions, Ten Millions, Hundred Millions
• Milliards (Billions)
The NUMERICAL worth of the digit
Value is written in DIGITS / NUMBERS with zeros according to its position.
• In Tens place → Value is 70
• In Thousands place → Value is 7,000
• In Millions place → Value is 7,000,000
• Note: The value of digit 0 in ANY place is always 0!
⚡ The Power of 10 Rule:
As a digit moves one place to the left in the place value chart, its value becomes 10 times greater!
10 tens = 1 hundred (100)
10 hundreds = 1 thousand (1,000)
10 hundred thousands = 1 million (1,000,000)
10 hundred millions = 1 milliard (1,000,000,000)
